A LETTER FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
"I have had the privilege and pleasure of working for or with non-profit
organizations for the last 6 years. I know that there are many causes in the world
making a difference; and all are interested in your attention.
So, as sincerely as I can convey, thank you for your interest in Inspire Excellence.
We are a small organization, ran solely by 2 staff and our board members. When
reflecting on that fact, I am proud of the accomplishments we have achieved; with
26 Idahoans honored, $150,000 raised for charity, and the Teens 2 Trades program
founded to help underserved and under resourced youth live a better life.
I truly believe that our organization has made a positive impact in the lives of
Idahoans.
I also believe we are just getting started.
My past experiences with Inspire Excellence have taught me many lessons.
I have learned that we all have "unsung heroes" in our lives; people that quietly
and humbly dedicate their time and effort to making the world a better place.
I have also learned that too often, it is those same "unsung heroes" that receive the
least amount of praise and recognition for their service.
My time with Inspire Excellence has taught me that there is a tangible power in
taking the time to honor and recognize those who seldom receive recognition for
the good they do.
The feeling in the room as we publicly and profusely thank the quiet, humble "dogooders" in our lives is indescribable. I do know one word that captures that
feeling - CONTAGIOUS.
Our name - Inspire Excellence - is what we strive to do. The Inspire Excellence
Awards and Luncheon truly do INSPIRE EXCELLENCE in all who are involved.
Every single person leaves a little better; ready to make the world a better place.
That is my ultimate request: Come See For Yourself!
Submit a nomination or sponsor our event. Take part in the energy and goodness I
have personally felt over the last two years.
I promise, you will feel truly inspired."
