Cyndee is a founding member and board member of Film Green Bay and has been the Green Bay Film Festival Director for each of the 6 years of its existence. Cyndee's responsibility's include screening films, helping secure sponsorships, overseeing staff and volunteers, as well as working with the event venue staff to set up the event.
Because of Cyndee's commitment and determination, the Film Festival has not only survived, but it has grown each year. As Festival Director, Cyndee is not only the guiding force for all the volunteers, but the major contributor of the volunteer hours which have totaled over 2,000 hours each year.
Without Cyndee's involvement, the Film Festival would not have enjoyed the success it has, or possibly would not even be in existence. Through her dedication and make it happen attitude, she has impacted the community in many ways.
Thank you, Cyndee, for your hard work and dedication.

The Sexual Assault Center
is looking for volunteers and interns to work as Sexual Assault Advocates in Brown county. No experience is necessary as all advocates receive extensive training prior to working with victims of Sexual Violence.
Advocates play an important role in victims' healing process as they not only field incoming hotline calls, but also respond to hospitals or police stations to provide immediate support and information. Interns provide additional support and legal advocacy. They sign up for two shifts each month that work with their schedule and attend monthly meetings with other advocates, to maintain protocols and expand knowledge. Our next training starts Mid-September. For more information contact Chelsey Steffens at 920-436-8899, or
