Board of Directors Spotlight - Lara Salinas
|
|
We would like to take a moment to recognize a member of our very valuable Board of Directors, Lara Salinas – Human Resources Director at Essilor of America, Inc., and Frisco Family Services Board Assistant Secretary.
What excites Lara most about being a part of Frisco Family Services is
“being able to bless people in need in my own community. As a part of the board, I wish to contribute to this wonderful organization, whatever gifts I can, to help support more people in the community.”
Lara is currently in her 2nd year serving on the board, and has already demonstrated her commitment to positively impacting her local community through her involvement in many of the programs offered by Frisco Family Services.
Aside from work and her involvement in the community, Lara enjoys spending time with her husband and 10-year-old twins. Her hobbies include reading and decluttering, and if she could find time to write a book, the title would be “
Don’t Forget to Laugh
”.
If given more hours in my day, “I would
slow down and appreciate the little things. One day we will look back and realize they were the big things.”
Lara favors all quotes by Maya Angelou but one that always speaks to her is “
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
We treasure each and every Board member, and are so grateful for their time and talents dedicated to ensuring the success of our clients and building a caring community.
