Heather Lombardo
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Volunteer of the Month
June 2008While we often hear families refer to the children our NILMDTS photographers capture in images as "Angel Babies", one of the families that Heather Lombardo provided services for calls her, "... our angel with a camera." Following our implementation of the NILMDTS session logging system last fall, Heather personally inputted approximately 65 sessions into our system - YES - that's at least 65 families who have treasured images of their children thanks to Heather! As her Co-Area Coordinator Jessica Person puts it, "I can't say enough about the spirit of service present in the heart of Heather Lombardo. Her skill as a photographer is unquestioned, but as a leader she is unmatched." Heather is also assisting in a volunteer capacity processing new registrant applications as a member of the NILMDTS Board of Directors Application Review Subcommittee.
As one of our newly Certified NILMDTS Trainers, Heather will be canvassing the state of Minnesota to provide regional training seminars for new and veteran members in the area. We expect Heather will be a great ambassador for the program to correctly teach the skills, techniques and personal interactions necessary for a volunteer to succeed in this challenging work.
Congratulations, Heather!
Thank you!
A huge thank you to all of our wonderful Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Volunteers!

Nominations should be e-mailed to headquarters@nilmdts.org with the subject line of "VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH NOMINATION". The Headquarters Office will accept nominations at any time throughout the month.
Each NILMDTS Volunteer of the Month receives a congratulatory plaque which can be proudly displayed in their studios as well as a profile here throughout the month of their award.
