Camp Resilience, a veterans support nonprofit group, recently announced that former Medford resident Jennifer Whalen-Sirois joined the group as vice president for advancement.
Camp Resilience is a support group based in New Hampshire but serves veterans from throughout New England. Sessions are open to all veterans at no cost to the attending veteran. Sessions are held at least monthly and last three to four days in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. All lodging, meals and recreational costs are covered due to donations and grants from community businesses and supporters.
“On behalf of our board of directors, I am delighted to announce the hiring of our new vice president for advancement,” said Camp Resilience founder Kurt Webber, U.S. Army retired. “Jenn Whalen-Sirois brings to our operation a knowledge of successful business practices and a passion for nonprofit fundraising. She’s excited about this opportunity to help veterans in a very meaningful way and we welcome her as a member of the Camp Resilience team.”
Whalen-Sirois’ background includes three years as the director of advancement for the St. Charles School in Woburn, former resident director of Camp Bernadette in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, junior high school teacher in Medford and for many years worked to develop her family’s electrical contracting business in Burlington. Her goals in her new position are to expand the donor base for Camp Resilience, develop new sources of grant funding and build partnerships throughout New England.
“I am excited to use my experience to continue to grow this wonderful program that serves America’s heroes,” said Whalen-Sirois.
She currently lives in Burlington with her three children and their family dog, Bridie.
