Volunteer Quality of Service Award
Congratulations, Jennifer!
“Jennifer has been volunteering for Saltwater for over 10 years! She goes above and beyond in offering her time to the Saltwater team, often exceeding the minimum 8 hours per month. In their time in Saltwater, she have not only improved their own time management, but also the efficiency of the Saltwater team. She approaches each of her tasks with enthusiasm and glee, and her positive attitude brightens everyone’s day. Her efficient approach to the long list of tasks she is given each shift creates space and time for the Saltwater team to tackle projects and deadlines in a more efficient manner. Jennifer is an invaluable asset to our team. Jennifer, thank you for all that you have put into the team!“
