People often say, “If you want something done, ask a busy person.” Well, have we got the woman for you! At their annual gala, the YWCA honored Family Promise trustee, Ellen Rafferty, as A Woman of Action. According to the program, A Woman of Action is a woman whose problem-solving, drive, and spirit are unstoppable regardless of the challenge. This describes Ellen to a tee.
Her bio mentions the many roles she fills at BD where she has worked for 16 years. In her free time, she serves on several boards (her favorite of which is Family Promise) and is a member of several committees and professional organizations. Ellen’s bio from the event program is below.
It is our honor to have a Trustee with the energy and tenacity to do the work Ellen does for Family Promise and for literally, the world. Congratulations, Ellen!
