To work at one place for 20 years is rare these days, and a heck of an accomplishment. Those who reach that milestone must be a pretty special person … and work at a pretty special place. CEO Kelly Pearson and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Maui in Hawaii meet both criteria.
Kelly emailed us to share how the team at the Maui Club shocked her last Friday by throwing a surprise party to celebrate her 20-year anniversary with the organization. How great is that? In fact, the staff did such a great job keeping the party under wraps, Kelly told us, “after a few seconds being a little upset because I had no idea as to what was happening (after all, I am the CEO), I was reminded of the wonderful and caring people we have working for our organization.”
The evening continued to be filled with surprises, apparently, including video messages from local and state leaders, and a proclamation by the Mayor of the County of Maui that officially declared August 4, 2017 as “Kelly Pearson Day” in the county.
Congratulations, Kelly, from all of us at Boys & Girls Clubs of America!
