Sam Harris, Board Vice President and Co-Founder of the Jenneca Simkonis Memorial Foundation

According to Sam, "I’m a trailblazer partially because I refuse to accept things I know just don’t feel right, and sometimes that also means that I am getting a lot of reassurance that I’m making the right decisions from people who know more than me - the people who have blazed those trails before me or know what it’s like to be a trailblazer - because it means being the smaller voice. This is me as a person and the organization I represent, the small voice making change. I never want to go through a day or a project without saying there was some fun was had."
