ACCIONista of the Month
I had only been at ACCION USA for one week when the e-mail to nominate Employee of the Month came into my inbox. I had already met a lot of great people but after reading the list of past winners, I noticed that one hard working ACCIONista was missing: Erica Dorn.
Erica, the manager of volunteer partnerships at ACCION USA, had pioneered a volunteer program at AUSA that allowed more than 400 people be part of the microfinance efforts in the United States.
During my first week at AUSA, I had see Erica run around the office welcoming and guiding our new batch of summer interns, on the phone assisting our volunteers, skipping lunch on Tuesday to help raise money by giving donation-based yoga classes and speaking with big passion about ACCION USA’s involvement with Kiva.
It turns out that many other ACCIONistas had seen the infectious personality and passion for our mission that Erica carries and a week later, during our monthly employee meeting, we received the news that Erica had been named Employee of the Month of June.
To learn more about what is like to work in microfinance or volunteerism, check out the fun video interview with Erica.
To Erica,
Great job and Congratulations!
