What is one word or phrase that describes this person as an RCB: Heart of Service

Tell us a bit about what you appreciate about them as an RCB:

Aside from being one of the most active and dedicated volunteers within my organization, Emily is involved with and/or part of at least half a dozen non-profit organizations. She tirelessly strives to better the Milton-Freewater community through activism and is constantly percolating with ideas to support and promote local small businesses.

When asked to do something, Emily always says yes! She has done educational seminars, marketing training, and donates at least 30 hours per month to MFCDA. She has been the catalyst for our organization’s development and recognition within the community.
