Quickly adapting, Vicki provides assistance to the Executive Director, serves as the Board Recorder, interfaces with the programs, assists the public, and also plans enjoyable events for the staff and board members. Most of all, Vicki likes interacting with her co-workers and credits their generosity of heart and goodwill to any successes she experiences in her assignments
