Michelle Avola-Reese is the Director of Marketing and
Development with The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools. The Foundation is a
non-profit education foundation which enhances and enriches the quality of
public education for students and educators through programs, resources and
experiences. This is made possible
through corporate, individual and educational partnerships. Some of their
programs include Student Advocacy and Mentoring Partnership (STAMP), STEM@Work,
ArtSpeak, Take Stock in Children, Dancing Classrooms, the Education Resource
Center, Golden Apple Teacher Award Recognition, Collegium Quality Teacher
Education, Classroom Grants, Anti-Bullying Initiatives and more. Their
goal is to help students achieve at their highest potential and equip educators
with the resources they need to be the best.
Prior to joining The Foundation,
Michelle was the Executive Director of a local non-profit advocacy group,
making a tremendous impact in Collier County for the past seven years. She also spent seven years with Xerox
Corporation as the National Sales Training Manager. She has three sons currently enrolled in Lee
County Public Schools. Her love for
these boys is the major driving force behind her passion to further The
Foundation’s efforts. “Quality
education and enrichment activities today help shape and grow the leaders of
tomorrow. My boys have big dreams, and I
want to do everything I can to help them, and their peers, be everything they
can be!”
Since joining The Foundation for Lee County
Public Schools in June, Michelle has immersed herself in planning, marketing
and fundraising for the many programs and events for the new school year, and
has brought on the Florida Everblades / Germain Arena as a new partner.
