In Our CommunityI stay active in my community by rolling up my sleeves and getting involved with organizations that support causes for which I feel strongly or for which I feel that I can make a difference. I am involved with and/or support several Chambers, a local Hospital Foundation, Juvenile Diabetes, the MDA, Breast Cancer Awareness, and a local Library Foundation.
I recently read an article that touched my heart in a way that no other organization or cause has done. The article addressed the challenges that many young members of the Armed Forces face in managing personal finances. To assist Servicemembers in developing personal financial skills, the Department of Defense (DoD) has initiated an education and awareness program called the Financial Readiness Campaign to help military personnel effectively deal with financial issues related to pre deployment, deployment, and post deployment. All military service men and women, active duty, reserve, family members and parents are eligible to receive complimentary education and counseling services paid for by the DoD.
After reading this article, I became involved in the campaign as an on-demand Personal Financial Counselor (PFC). My role as an on-demand PFC is to provide support when needed to Servicemembers in developing personal financial skills such as creating budget plans, debt reduction plans, and saving for future emergencies and retirement. It’s truly an extraordinary program that I’m excited to be a part of.
The two organizations that I am currently most involved with are the Bluffs Business Association and the Rotary Club of Seminole Lake.
The Bluffs Business Association, (BBA) is an organization that had been dormant for many years. I revived it after opening my Raymond James Financial Services branch in Belleair Bluffs. The goal of BBA is to create awareness within the community of the diversity of businesses within the small communities of Belleair and Belleair Bluffs and to reach out to the local residents and our business neighbors through community events. I served as President of the Bluffs Business Association from 2003, through August 2007. I'm currently serving as Vice-President. The Association’s key fundraiser is an annual BBQ and family fun day that generally raises about $1,600 for breast cancer awareness.
The Rotary Club of Seminole Lake is an amazing club. It serves the community in a variety of ways including its support of literacy, the Great American Teach-In, safe Halloween for kids, family wellness, and much more. The Club also supports national and international service projects through its involvement with Habitat for Humanity, Seeds of Peace, Polio Plus, as well as the Roto Cleft Palate project initiated by a dentist within the club. I have served in many capacities within Rotary. I am currently President Elect. I am also a Rotary Paul Harris Fellow and a Benefactor.
