Women's Foundation Volunteer of the Year

Suzanne Allen

Suzanne Allen speaks at the 2010 Grants Showcase and Volunteer Recognition program and receives her award from Shante K. Avant, Director of Grants and Programs

"Working with our grantees through the Grants Committee has given me the opportunity to witness the labor, delivery and birth of so many worthwhile programs that make such a difference in the lives of countless individuals in Memphis. Imagining the ripple effect of these programs across lives and years gives me cold chills! Being even such a small part of this effort is having an enormous effect in my own life." – Suzanne Allen, 2010 Women's Foundation for a Greater Memphis Volunteer of the Year

There are no exact words to describe the countless hours and gallant moments spent by volunteers helping other women reach their full potential. The Womens Foundation volunteers do this on a regular basis working tirelessly to help fulfill the mission by serving on different committees such as the Grants Committee or serving on a project such as Annual Tribute Luncheon. The spirit of the Womens Foundation can be found in the heart and passion of the volunteers.

 

Becoming Involved - Investing Your Time and Talent

There are two key areas where individuals and organizations can get involved in the work of the Womens Foundation, and both of them grow directly from our mission. The first revolves around encouraging philanthropy and promoting leadership among women. Toward this end we have numerous volunteer opportunities that are connected in some way to our fund-raising activities from behind the scenes to making the ask and educational offerings.
