Congratulations to our very own Mrs. Dalila A. Gamper who has received the “Calling, Character, & Commitment National Mentor Award”. It honors those who exhibit servant leadership and dedication to the Elevate Phoenix mission. It’s awarded by Elevate USA.
“As my personal mentor over the years, I have witnessed Mrs. Dee to be the epitome of “servant leadership by example.” She has consistently led her life as someone who deeply cares for others and works relentlessly to impact the lives of everyone she is in relationship with.
She is not only an inspiration to me, but to so many! She shows up and genuinely goes out of her way to make you feel special at every opportunity she can find or create, all with her beautiful smile that lights up a dark room! She gives hope and can be trusted to always do the right thing, especially when no one is looking!
I cannot think of a more deserving person to receive this highly honored award. I love and appreciate the woman that she is!”
