In order to celebrate Military Appreciation Month… We will profile one of our exceptional veterans per week throughout May.
A college graduate at 64 says, “Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.”

Renee started with Operation Dignity six and a half years ago, shortly before ...beginning her college classes and has continued to work while pursuing her education. She says that Operation Dignity has been a supportive environment for her because her fellow staff are so great. “It’s important to have a core team who also have tenacity… Everyone here is unique, but together we make a magic puzzle.”

Kyla Singal, Operation Dignity’s Director of Human Resources says, “Renee is a beacon of hope, inspiration and joy. She exemplifies black excellence and the will to overcome obstacles in order to succeed.”

Congratulations, Renee! We’re so happy you’re a part of the Operation Dignity family and we wish you much success!
