Happy Wednesday! We hope you enjoyed last week's stakeholder spotlight, of our executive director, Alicia Horst! This week we will be featuring a board member!
Tunakuletea: Les Helmuth
Les amekuwa akijihusisha na NewBridges tangu 2007. Alipofundisha darasa na Taasisi isiyo ya Faida ya JMU, mkurugenzi mtendaji (wakati huo), Susannah Leply alimwendea kuhusu kumshauri juu ya maendeleo ya ufadhili. Takriban mwaka mmoja baadaye, Susannah alimwalika kujiunga na Bodi ya NewBridges. Kwa sasa yeye ni Makamu Mwenyekiti wa bodi, na anatoa mwelekeo wa kutafuta fedha na kujenga uhusiano wa wafadhili hasa.
March is Les' favorite time of year at NewBridges, when the event Taste of the World takes place. Taste of the World is an event that features food from all around the world, and this March we will be featuring East Africa!
Les enjoys spending time with his family, golfing, and singing with a men's a capella group! His favorite thing to do in the Shenandoah region is to attend shows in the summer season at the Oak Grove Theater in Verona, VA! Les and his wife have season tickets to this small outdoor venue and enjoy a picnic dinner and some relaxation before the shows begin with this wife!
We are looking forward to bringing more of these Spotlight's to you! Let us know if you have any comments or suggestions!
