Janice's Story
Life
I'm living in Arlington Heights, IL with my spouse, Stefan Tucker, and my two boys, Aleks 12, and Derek 10. I opted out of the work force in 2001 and have been volunteering in the local schools ever since. Before that I was a senior manager at a Fortune 200 software development company where I ran the User Interface Design Group and managed some development projects.
In January 2004 a small band of dedicated parents and local business leaders established the District 59 Education Foundation. We sat our first board in March of 2004. I have served as chair since the planning stage and find it highly rewarding. In less than four years we have awarded over $63,000 to the district's schools in the form of grants for inn...Expand for more
ovation and excellence. Another $25K will be awarded next week.
We also received major grants from Motorola Foundation. This past January we received $10,500 to enhance elementary teacher training in the sciences. In November we received an additional sum to start hands-on life science programs in two of our 14 schools.
Between family life and the foundation I keep pretty busy! One of these days I'll have to find a paying gig, though, since those college costs are looming. Life is good.
Workplace
I LOVE running the District 59 Education Foundation. It's very rewarding and certainly very challenging. Managing employees is a whole lot easier than managing volunteers. I've learned a lot and that's always a good thing.
