Class 21 Excellence in Etiquette Event: Sponsored by Genie Erneta

Our amazing friend Genie Erneta from TGS has been a loyal volunteer and donor to the Prison Entrepreneurship Program for many years. As a member of our Houston Advisory Board, she has challenged us to think more strategically about our expansion while continuing to encourage our growth. She also has an incredible knack for inspiring her peers to deepen their own support for PEP!

Case in point:
We recently told our Houston Advisory Board about our need to secure a sponsor for our upcoming Excellence in Etiquette event on Friday, March 21, 2014. This is one of our participants’ favorite events because they get to share a nice meal with our volunteers — for most, the best meal that they have ever had in prison (a meal that PEP must pay for). Having attended the event several times, Genie has seen the impact that this opportunity can create for both the participants and the volunteers. She immediately shouted out “I’ll sponsor it!”

Others soon followed her lead by offering to sponsor future events. Thank you, Genie, for all that you do for PEP!
