“As a teacher, I believe education is very important. When I was provided with the opportunity to become a board member I happily accepted. The LNWEF is my outlet to helping those less fortunate achieve their educational goals. I have always believed that it is important to give back to the community through community service, and it is something I truly enjoy.”

“I was most impressed that LNWA leadership created a foundation to provide this kind of support for residents and felt it was an honor to be asked to serve on the board. As a former teacher, it is very rewarding to work to create opportunities for people to advance their educational goals and learn about their stories as they move towards them.”

“As a founding member over a decade ago, I still have the same passion for the Leon N. Weiner Education Foundation’s mission that I did when we first began this organization. Education is my profession and is very near and dear to me. I know that we are impacting these deserving families through education, and to me, that is an honorable service.”

“It is an honor to serve an organization that honors the beliefs of Leon N. Weiner, who was both a trailblazer in the affordable housing community and someone who believed that everyone could reach their goals if given a chance. Working with the Foundation to provide opportunities for people to improve their future through education is incredibly rewarding. I enjoy every success story and am certain that beneficiaries of the program are going to make remarkable contributions to our community now and in the future.”
