Sirolli Institute Volunteer of the Year Award

The Sirolli Institute - International Enterprise Facilitation® Inc. is proud to announce the Sirolli Institute Volunteer of the Year is:

Mr. Bret Mills of Anton, Texas.

Mr. Mills is the Chair of the WesTex Allied Communities Enterprise Facilitation project operating in Lamb County and Anton, Texas and he has been nominated by Mrs. Laura Harding, the Enterprise Facilitator servicing the project.

The nomination read as follows:

“With an absolute passion to improve the lives of those who live in his communities, and with a complete understanding of the Sirolli model, Bret has worked tirelessly to make WesTex Allied Communities an unrivaled success in Texas. Further, Bret’s belief in this project has prompted him to work with other communities to expand the Sirolli Enterprise Facilitation model throughout this great state, sacrificing personal time to do so, so that others can live the transforming experience and restoration of hope that Enterprise Facilitation can bring to them and their communities.
It is my honor to nominate Bret Mills for this prestigious award.”

Laura Hardin, Enterprise Facilitator.

The Volunteer of the Year Award has been created by the Sirolli Institute to allow Enterprise Facilitators to honor the individual who has helped them the most during the often challenging initial months of their new careers. Only Enterprise Facilitators undergoing training can nominate Chairs, Board Members or community mentors to be considered for the award. The Sirolli Institute, in making the final adjudication, considers not only the services in supporting the Enterprise Facilitator but also the volunteer “passion” for Enterprise Facilitation and their advocacy among the community at large.

Bret Mills has been an indefatigable champion for Enterprise Facilitation and we are proud to present the Inaugural Sirolli Volunteer of the Year Award to him.

As recipient of the award Mr. Bret Mills is the official Sirolli Ambassador for the year 2006/2007 and will be offered the opportunity to visit a community in training, either nationally or internationally, at his convenience and in consultation with the Institute, all expenses paid.

We sincerely hope that Bret will enjoy sharing his passion and considerable experience with communities that are celebrating their own Enterprise Facilitation projects and that he will take some of that special “can do”, Texan approach, with him!
