Farewell Vanessa Stergios – Thank You
“Vanessa Stergios – Fair Winds and Following Seas.”
– Duncan S. Milne, Colonel, USMC (Ret.), President,
Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services
For the past five years Vanessa Stergios has been an amazing member of our team and served as our Director of Development. At the end of this month we will say farewell to Vanessa as she is taking a position with the National Children’s Alliance.
Vanessa led our development through the pandemic and through times of certainty and uncertainty. She always ensures our programs have the resources needed. She led through our ground breaking Vision Summit. She managed holiday mailings, end of year requests, tax letters and processing everything from car donations to cyber donations. Vanessa, is a true professional. She goes above and beyond helping implement our women veterans emergency financial assistance program.
Vanessa is always making the lives of veterans and their families better.
Please join us in thanking Vanessa for her tireless work over the last several years.
Our goal is to make this as seamless a transition as possible over the next several weeks. We are fortunate to have Eileen Greenlay in place to take the position of Director of Development effective immediately.
