Prompt 5: Board Assignments

Dear Neighborhood Services, Inc:

My name is Lauren Milazzo and I have been chosen to participate on your executive board for the upcoming school year. First off, let me tell you about myself. I am currently a junior marketing major in the Fisher College of Business, here at The Ohio State University. I am a member of FisherCares, a volunteer organization through the Fisher College of Business, and I participated in the Strengths-Based Coaching Program last winter where I learned about the strengths, specifically the ones incorporated in the Gallup Strengths-Finder. I have also worked on and off at the Union Market at the sandwich station in the Ohio Union. This past summer I studied abroad in Greece and Turkey where I learned about Alexander the Great, as well as learning about Greek and Turkish culture. I also visited Italy, Croatia, Montenegro and Peru this summer.

I am so excited about the opportunity to participate on the executive board for Neighborhood Services, Inc. Growing up as a Girl Scout, volunteering and giving back to the community has always played a large role in my life. As I grew older I had several different volunteer experiences but all at the volunteer level. I’m excited to take my volunteer experience to the next level by seeing how a non-profit operates. As a business major, I’m also looking forward to how a non-profit differs from a for-profit business. Since I haven’t had any experience with the management and structural roles of a non-profit, I think this will be a great learning experience. I can’t wait to learn more about Neighborhood Services, Inc and I hope to start volunteering soon.

Again, I am so excited for this amazing opportunity and I look forward to meeting you all.

Sincerely,

Lauren Milazzo
