Lianne Somerville, 61, District Manager, Junior Achievement Great Lakes/Northwestern Service Office, Traverse City and 9 surrounding counties
The program: Junior Achievement’s mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. Participation in Junior Achievement helps young people answer the age-old question, “Why do I need to know this?” Our activities make the learning and the materials relevant to real-life situations. I love the positive outcomes of our work. The job: I work with the Advisory Board and the community to make sure we have the resources we need to provide our successful programming to K-12 students. I share my enthusiasm for our mission with others and gain their support of our work. The start: Working for Junior Achievement is a great transition from my previous position as the executive director of a mid-size ($1.2 million) not-for-profit in Indianapolis. I can combine the things I love doing, building relationships and supporting a great mission, with my passion for youth development. The volunteers: We are completely dependent on our wonderful volunteers! They facilitate the programs in the classrooms. It’s a wonderful opportunity for corporations to provide their employees with meaningful community involvement.

The funding: Our program is funded through donations and grants. Donations make up the bulk of our revenue budget, and the more money we raise, the more students we can reach. Donors can be confident that their money is spent well. We are a no-frills organization, and it’s all about the students.
