“Why am I a board member?  EMYS staff is very dedicated to working with and caring about Madison County students; and because of their efforts, students continue in school and graduate.  One success leads to another – a subject completed, high school graduation, a better job, enrollment in college, a better future.  It is rewarding to be a small part of student success and to support EMYS staff efforts.”

Why I support Madison County Communities in Schools:

[16 years as a member of the board]

The staff of Communities in Schools is caring and dedicated to making a positive impact on the success of each and every student with whom they work.  The staff and students are the
ones who deserve recognition for all they do; the staff for the huge positive difference they make in the personal and academic lives of students, and the students for their desire for improvement.
It is very rewarding to learn of the success of both and to have a small part in this effort.
