"Working on the board of FREEDOM House has been very meaningful and gratifying. FREEDOM House provides housing, counseling, and support which has enabled men and women to regain their lives. As many people turn their heads away from the social issues that plague our community, it takes active leaders to address and create solutions to help people transition back to their independence. With an 83% success rate for persons staying six months or longer, I feel I have helped make a positive difference for our city."
