Washington D.C., DC
About Me: We write bios all the time about what we do but not always about why we do it. I want to convey the impossible "why" in a few words: I feel so fortunate to spend each day working with and for volunteers who care so much about the world around them. We are often inundated with pessimistic news and platitudes about how the world is going down and how nobody cares. I know that isn't true, because I see hope every day in small and big actions and ideas. We must celebrate -- and support with our resources -- people who carry this spirit with their voices and their actions. Please join me and consider spending at least what you might spend for a dinner or two in a restaurant to empower people who not only speak to making a better world, but who are doing it daily and inspiring others to do the same. That is what Partners of the Americas is all about, and it is an honor to work for such committed volunteers.
Partners of the Americas is a non-profit, non-partisan international grassroots network. We connect volunteer, institutions and communities to serve and to change lives. A network engaging 10,000 volunteers through over 100 chapters each year, Partners is unique in the Americas. We are women, men, youth leaders, teachers, parents, doctors, business owners, students, retirees, carpenters, farmers, Republicans, and Democrats all committed to a more peaceful and prosperous hemisphere. Through the leadership of our own volunteers, we are embarking on an exciting campaign to raise $150,000 by March 31, 2011. This campaign will help us continue to support the Partners network and empower our chapters and volunteers to help turn their ideas for a more sustainable and prosperous Western Hemisphere into a reality.
