give to an organization with a mission they are passionate
about. All nonprofits need a constant flow of new energy
and new ideas in the form of volunteers, board members,
supporters, and donors. We all may not have a thousand
dollars to give, but we all have a thousand ideas of things
we are passionate about. Turn your passion into action and
make a difference to a local non-profit. Through action,
you can truly make a difference in people’s lives.

What are you working on now?
I am finding ways to better the lives of women and
those with disabilities in Siouxland. I love serving on the
Women Lead Change conference steering committee.
This allows me to have a part in bringing influential
speakers and leaders to town to ensure that local women
can attend conferences to receive leadership training,
networking opportunities, and continued education. I
also serve on the Board of Directors for the Junior League
of Siouxland, which works to better the lives of women
and the community through training and volunteering.
The Junior League is an amazing way to learn about the
community and its needs. I receive a lot of inspiration
from the campers at Camp High Hopes. I love connecting
individuals and businesses to the mission of camp to
provide life-changing camp programs to people with
special needs that deserve them the most!
What is your vision for the future?
I would love to see the Sioux City metro continue to grow
and evolve. We are not forgetting our past, but we are
shaking off the old cow-town stigmas and growing into a
unique community. I hope we continue to support locally
owned bars, restaurants, salons, shops and welcome in
more. I hope we continue to emphasize business and
economic development. We need to ensure the stability
and continuation of the non-profits in Siouxland that
are doing great work. I want to see more quality of life
enrichment opportunities in the form of new facilities,
events, and outdoor recreation. I hope we continue to
improve Siouxland by ensuring equality for all residents.
What would you like to see happen in Siouxland?
I would love to see more involvement in the many
amazing non-profits in the Siouxland area. I would
encourage those with a little time, talent, and treasure to
What are you doing to make that happen?
To ensure the continued growth and stability of the nonprofits
in Siouxland, I volunteer and serve on several boards.
I donate to the organizations I am passionate about. I keep
up with local news and attend community events. I provide
assistance, insight, and suggestions when asked. I serve on
the board of Siouxland Philanthropy, a group that provides
education and resources to non-profit development
professionals in the area. I like to know what is going on in
the community and work on improving it.
How can people help you make that happen?
Reach out to an organization you are passionate about
and ask how you can help. Buy a ticket to the nonprofit’s
fundraiser you have been wanting to attend. Join the
mailing list. Make a donation. Learn about volunteer
opportunities. Attend open houses or other events. Follow
organizations on social media to keep up with their news.
Get involved to make your community a better place for
everyone.
