MWC Board Member Joyce Shand
I am honored to work with Debra, Sheila and the other Board members of the Multicultural Wellness Center. Debra and Sheila have done an excellent job servicing the diverse youth of the area for the past several years. I feel that I can lend support for the financial aspect of their business. As someone who has worked in banking for almost 20 years, I hope to help position MWC to present itself in the best financial light when that time comes for MWC to need bank financing or to obtain additional grant funding to support its business growth. I look forward to continue working with MWC as it strives toward reaching its full potential for the greater Worcester area.
