The NETworker of the Month

March 2023

AND THE WINNER IS..

MARIE LACEY-COLLINS

March 2023 ~ NETworker of the Month

 

The Illinois chapter is honored to have the talent and commitment from Marie Lacey-Collins.

 

Marie Connected the chapter with several opportunities for mentoring as well as tutoring and was a viable resource in launching the initiatives. She was also instrumental in formulating connections between the chapter and external resources in order to support a stellar opportunity for a paid summer camp for urban children. She additionally offered invaluable ideas for future initiatives for Bridging the Digital Divide.

 

The Illinois Chapter President and this year’s Chapter leaders are very grateful for Marie and proud of her contributions. The NETwork Illinois is fortunate to have her apart of their family!


CONGRATULATIONS Marie for this well-deserved honor!

AND THE WINNER IS..

Kimberly Grays

April 2023 ~ NETworker of the Month


Kimberly has proven to not just be an essential part of the Virtual Indiana chapter, but she's also an integral member of her sorority, where she assists young ladies with finding scholarships. In addition, Kimberly is also very active at her church where she can be found volunteering in her free time.


Alongside her husband, Kimberly exhibits leadership and entrepreneurial skills to her children by promoting the significance of giving back to the community.


Kimberly continued support is welcomed and greatly appreciated. She always answers the call when the chapter needs a flier, ideas for a fundraiser or just a simple question answered.


Kimberly also purchased books on behalf of Virtual Indiana chapter for literacy day when we did not have any schools to participate. Her son and another young man who were selected as scholars for the Beautillion Militaire Scholarship Program, distributed the books in partnership with Indianapolis Colts player, tight end, Kylen Grayson to children K-8 for their literacy day program.

 

The Virtual Indiana Chapter is fortunate to have her apart of their family!


CONGRATULATIONS Kimberly for this well-deserved honor!
