So there we are...17 years later. We met in September 1996 and that woman you see sitting in that chair was just seven years old. She was full of energy and life and she changed my world. It should have been the other way around, after all, I was her Big Sister. I was suppose to mentor her. But, in meeting her, literally our first outing, it hit me how incredible childhood is. She took over. I couldn't get over how much fun it was to be around a child. She, and her family, are the reason I believe in family. They are the reason I became a mom and as you can expect, they are the reason I believe in Big Brothers Big Sisters.
As C.E.O. of this agency, our mission is what I wake up thinking about and go to bed dreaming about. The work we accomplish each year builds stronger kids and stronger communities. We are changing the lives of our local youth. We are changing how they are growing up. We change their lives for the better, forever.
