Volunteer of the Year
Nancy Nunn

Nancy began volunteering for Junior Achievement seven years ago while working at Caterpillar.  Although she is retired from her career there, she continues to volunteer for JA, and has taught fifteen classes impacting more than 300 children at 4 different schools in Creve Coeur, Pekin, and Peoria. Nancy is proud to be among four generations of family members employed by Caterpillar in Peoria! She lives in Washington with her husband and has two children and two grandchildren. Third grade teacher Carrie Smith from Willow Primary School in Pekin commented that Nancy does a spectacular job connecting the community to the classroom in a way that students can understand and relate with their own experiences. Nancy says that, “Motivated by Junior Achievement curriculum, I could not pass on the opportunity to make a difference and share the importance of economics in life no matter what your age.”
