Nashville Business Woman and Oasis Center Board Member Recognized For Leadership in Supporting Nashville Youth

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) November 1, 2007 -- Genma Stringer Holmes is one of the very few non-profit board members who has advocated ideas that are sufficiently original to alter the direction of a nationally recognized, award-winnng non-profit youth organization, the Oasis Center.

Parallel to raising $240,000 in individual gifts for the Oasis Center, she is opening higher education doors for economically challenged African American youth, encouraging the strategic success of her teenage daughter's cottage business and recruiting African American role models to work with middle school prevention groups.

In just a few conversations with the president of Georgetown College, Dr. Bill Crouch, she secured a four-year scholarship for an Oasis Center youth. One of her latest accomplishments is obtaining the needed funding for creating a new music program for the non-profit's new $7 million Youth Opportunity Center.

Taking notice of Holmes' accomplishments, the Southeastern Network of Youth and Family Services will be recognizing Holmes with the prestigious non-profit board member of the year award. More than 80 non-profit organizations are represented by the Southeastern Network of Youth and Family services.

"The simple act of giving is powerful," said Holmes. "Whether you are a business person, engineer or teacher, to be a citizen in today's world means giving back, as our world is becoming more interdependent and our youth represent our future."

Genma's leadership on the Oasis Center board has fostered unprecedented organizational growth and brand recognition. Yet, Holmes' appreciation for the Oasis Center is more personal than the conventional board member. The organization supported her family through a difficult time in 2005. Not only did the Oasis Center bring her family closer together, the Holmes' family has made a life-long commitment to supporting the organization and its outreach efforts for developing Nashville's youth.

Through mom's support, her daughter, Alexis has donated $25,000 of her business' proceeds from "Alexis' Famous Pies" to the Oasis Center's youth shelter programs. In 2006, Alexis was named Youth Philanthropist of the Year for her contributions to the Oasis Center.

As a leading proponent of the Oasis Center, Genma has educated and brought together thousands of people in the community through local United Way presentations, various faith based gatherings and at national business conferences.
