Volunteer Spotlight – Emily Esch

Click HERE to read the latest volunteer spotlight from FIRST^® in Texas. This issue recognizes Emily Esch, FTC Volunteer Coordinator for North Texas. This is a great opportunity to learn a bit about the people who make the programs and events we enjoy possible, and the work they do that might otherwise go unseen.

If you know of a volunteer who that you believe deserves recognition, let us know! Email us at marketing@firstintexas.org to submit your nominations for the next Volunteer Spotlight .
