Community Involvement
What's Your Why?
"Growing up as an only child and severely allergic to anything with fur, I never had the chance to own a pet. However, in my early 30s, my desire to fill that void led me to get treatment so I could finally have dogs. My personal journey with overcoming allergies to have pets has profoundly influenced my commitment to the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society.”
“Every day, the passionate care the staff provides to animals motivates me and enriches my life, compelling me to give back and help others experience the joy pets bring."
What Does a Firm Legacy of Service Mean to You?
"A firm legacy of service means that we at Woods Fuller are committed to giving back to our community that has given us so much as a whole. We've been firmly rooted in this community since 1887.”
“Sioux Falls has been good to me and to us, and I feel we should be good to Sioux Falls and protect and promote its success now and for the future generations to come."
Why Are You Passionate About Being Involved in the Community?
"I'm passionate about community involvement because it brings a sense of fulfillment and inspires others. Working with the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society motivates me daily, and I hope my actions encourage other attorneys at Woods Fuller to engage more with the community. By leading through example, we can inspire a new generation of lawyers to value and prioritize community service alongside their professional responsibilities."
