GRADD held its annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon today at Old Hickory. Susan Howard, Associate Professor of Social Work/Sociology at Brescia University, Chairperson of the Green River Area Council on Aging, and GRADD Board of Directors member addressed the group of 42 staff and volunteers.
The GRADD Volunteer of the Year for 2019 is Mary Ashford, an AmeriCorps member who is serving her third year at Ohio County Senior Services. Ms. Ashford also serves on the Green River Area Council on Aging, and works with the District Long Term Care Ombudsman Program.
Jiten Shah, GRADD executive director stated, “we are very proud of the work we do at GRADD of implementing programs that improve the quality of life in our district, but much of what we are able to accomplish would not be possible without the tremendous contributions and efforts made by our volunteers.”
