Kristi shared the following indicating the “why” for her willingness to take on a leadership role in TRVFA:

“Having worked in Health Care for several years I have personally witnessed the impact of an entry level staff rise through vocational training. As a Rotarian I see the value through the TRVFA and supporting this important program. Scholarships provide access to education and training for individuals who may not otherwise be able to afford it. By removing barriers, scholarships increase access to training and education allowing individuals to pressure in fields they may have not previously considered. In addition, through TRVFA individuals’ who are already in the workforce to advance their careers by providing them with the necessary education and training. This will lead to increased job opportunities, higher salaries, and better job security. Overall, scholarships for vocational training and career advancement are an important tool for promoting access to education and training, advancing careers, driving economic growth, and addressed skill shortages. “
