Inspired Leaders Inspire Others

Elaine Birks-Mitchell, Founder of The Undie Chest was the recipient of the Adult Inspired Leadership Award at the 20th Annual Governor's Volunteer Service Awards.

On April 26, 2023, Elaine had the honor of attending the Governor's Volunteer Service Awards organized by the Arizona Governor's Office of Youth, Faith and Family after being nominated for the Inspired Adult Leadership award for the work achieved at The Undie Chest! 🙌

This was an incredibly proud moment for me and my team to accept the award!

I got to meet other amazing individuals and organizations striving to strengthen our Arizona communities 🏜🧡

I want to take this opportunity to thank the Arizona Governor's Office for hosting this event and recognizing our efforts at The Undie Chest; it means the world, and we had a great time attending!
