Volunteer of the Year
2009
Kimberly Green
Gators and Gardening,
Volunteer Extraordinaire
Kim Green had
just begun working at Carlsbad-based Salient Networks, when her CEO, Mac
Clarke, asked her to attend an LSIT meeting with him. Mac and LSIT CEO Anette
Asher had been friends for years, and they felt that the LSIT experience would
be good for Kim. After all, she and her husband had recently relocated to
“After the first
meeting, I was hooked,” Kim said with a grin. “LSIT fits a lot of my interests
in the healthcare industry, and I was intrigued by the lack of guidance in a
highly regulated field.”
As an LSIT
volunteer, Kim leads the V&V Chapter Team 2 that is responsible for the
V&V Lifecycle and Principles content. With the kick-off of Team 2 last
winter, the team developed Alpha content for 10 stages of the V&V
lifecycle, Beta content for the V&V lifecycle (the overview) and
Principles. Team 2 submitted the Alpha content for review in June, essentially
turning around a great deal of content in only three months! “This was a huge
undertaking, and we were very successful,” says Kim.
She is also a
volunteer of the GO team, assisting with on-boarding practices to make the
experience better and more rewarding for the LSIT volunteers.
“I absolutely
love the relationships that develop from LSIT,” she explains. “My experience
with LSIT has really helped me feel more a part of the community. The group
that I interact with is fantastic! We love to laugh, and we truly enjoy each
other’s company.”
A sport
enthusiast, Kim is a self-proclaimed “huge Gators fan, and it is my duty to be
obnoxious about anything regarding college sports and my Florida Gators.”
In her spare
time, she also enjoys gardening, cooking and decorating her home.
Thank you, Kim,
for your extraordinary service to LSIT!
