REM Award Honorees (2014) — Destiny Demo (Maine Children’s Home)
Destiny Demo has been a Board Member for the Maine Children’s Home for over eight years. She is the Northern New England Human Resources Manager for Cianbro Corporation, a position that is demanding of her time. Despite that, Destiny has volunteered countless hours to benefit MCH.
She has successfully accessed her resources at Cianbro to benefit the construction of our Sun Shelter. Thanks to her perseverance, Cianbro Corporation fabricated, donated and delivered all of the steel for the shelter which had a value of over $13,000.
With her knowledge and expertise in Human Resource Management, Destiny ably chaired the Personnel/ Policies Committee as they totally re-wrote the Personnel Policies and procedures for MCH. During her time on the board, she has been a valued member sharing her expertise in finance/accounting, Program development, employee evaluations and assessments, as well as marketing.
An example of her commitment to the Home and her generous heart was shown at the last Wine Tasting Event. She was the winner of the 50/50 raffle in the amount of $750, but realizing that the day after this event, her family was leaving for Disney World, she turned all of her winnings over to MCH.
Destiny is a perfect role model for what a good board member should be. We appreciate everything she has done for the Maine Children’s Home.
