From Volunteer Center of Racine County
Judith Nielsen, Volunteer Solutions Program CoordinatorJudie is a Racine native who loves to play golf, help others and work. She started her career at an early age by working at her family’s locally owned business. That job lead to her to working with various local businesses and manufacturing companies. All of her jobs involved working directly with people, customers, writing policies and procedures, training staff and a lot of negotiating to get her job done correctly. She is proud to have recently retired from Modine Manufacturing after a twenty eight year career in Sales and Sales Support.
Having worked the majority of her life, retirement created a void that lunches, afternoon cards with friends and golf did not fulfill. In early 2007 Judie walked into to the Volunteer Center of Racine County looking to become involved with helping people and the community. The big question was; “would the Volunteer Center of Racine need a person with her background?” The answer was YES!
The Volunteer Center of Racine does so much for the community that they immediately had an opportunity. That single opportunity has opened the door to many others. She also volunteers with Lincoln Lutheran Skill bank, does fund raising and contributes her other free time to helping the less fortunate.
Judie is a member of the National Professional Woman’s Business Association and a Life Member of VFW Post 1391 Auxiliary. She has a Bachelors of Arts in Marketing and Business Administration. Judie and her husband David (who also volunteers) like to travel, do home projects together, and play as much golf as possible! They have two Labrador retrievers that are very spoiled.
