Please help us recognize all of the ways her nonprofit leadership skills have been essential in the growth of the AVANCE mission within Central Texas.
Anurita’s past commitment and unwavering dedication have enriched our organization and transformed countless lives in our community.

While at AVANCE, Anurita continually showed her remarkable talent for recognizing individual strengths and her ability to help harness those strengths to achieve goals. She set high standards for our team to meet the needs of our community but also provided us the necessary support and resources to continually meet and exceed those standards.
Lastly, Anurita’s approach to collaboration served as a shining example for us all. Through her approach, we are reminded that by working hand-in-hand with others who share our goals, we can achieve far more than we ever could on our own. We vow to continue those partnerships long into the future to provide countless resources and opportunities for families to thrive.
Anurita, now, demonstrates her dedication to our community and leadership skills through her current role as the Vice President of Network Programs and Services for the Central Texas Food Bank.
