Board member highlights<br />

“I was first involved with the organization as a <strong>Big</strong> Sister <strong>and</strong> began to<br />

appreciate the impact the organization <strong>and</strong> mentoring was having on<br />

my own life. I wanted to be able to give something back in return for this<br />

influence. The most immediate impact I have seen is on my Little Sister<br />

<strong>and</strong> the confidence she has developed through our time together. As a<br />

board member, I have seen the continued involvement <strong>and</strong> commitment<br />

throughout the organization - volunteers, staff <strong>and</strong> board members.<br />

This commitment <strong>and</strong> passion for mentoring continues to grow at all<br />

levels within the organization.”<br />

- Serena Wall<br />

“I always felt lucky as a kid to have a role model <strong>and</strong> mentor<br />

like my dad. I knew other kids were not so lucky <strong>and</strong>, when<br />

I was old enough, I would be able to help. At first, I was<br />

involved as a mentor. Now that I have kids <strong>of</strong> my own, being<br />

on the board <strong>of</strong> <strong>Big</strong> <strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Big</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Calgary</strong> <strong>and</strong> Area<br />

gives me the best opportunity to be involved.”<br />

- Mark Powell<br />
