Community Relations and Development Director
Tula joined Meals on Wheels in January of 2008. Tula brought with her unique experiences from both the business and non-profit resource sectors of our community. Prior to “re-starting” her professional career in 1996, Tula made the decision to be a “stay at home mom” for her two children. Tula began her work in the business sector. Throughout those ten years, Tula earned numerous awards and recognition in the construction industry. As Tula became more involved in the community, she realized that the work of non-profits is very important for the sustainability of our communities. Starting her non-profit career in 2003, Tula quickly assimilated her business background to the non-profit sector and her work. Tula makes the most of the combination of innovative resourcefulness and entrepreneurial spirit to maximize the financial resources for Meals on Wheel; enhancing the Community Relations and Development Department of Meals on Wheels. Dedicated to her profession, Tula is a Charter Member and the Charter Vice President of Membership of the local Association of Fundraising Professionals; a Member of the Meals on Wheels Association of America (MOWAA); and is working to complete MOWAA Certification in the areas of Marketing and Development. Tula received her Bachelor’s degree from DePauw University, in Greencastle, IN. Tula and her husband, John, reside in Crown Point, IN and have two college age children, Jon and Will.
