Tell Us Something We Don’t Know: Sisters’ Executive Director is Extraordinary!

Sisters’ Monica Beemer has been awarded the 2009 Extraordinary Executive Director Award by Portland Monthly Magazine!

This award is a part of Portland Monthly’s annual Light a Fire award program. Portlanders nominate more than 200 individuals and organizations in 15 award categories, explaining in 250 words or less why nominees deserve recognition. The selection committee then reads the ballots and chooses winners based not only on the number of votes but also on the impact each organization has had in the community.

Monica says, “Our staff, Board and our customers are what makes Sisters amazing – I am just one of the public spokespeople. So, thank you for making me/us look so good. This is a shared award – thank you for all you do and for your great hearts!”

All of the award winners are featured in the November issue of Portland Monthly, on news stands now. Read the article online!

Congratulations, Monica!
