After 5½ years of helping individuals and families navigate the path to homeownership, WIN Housing Counselor Tammy Edwards retired at the end of October. While we will miss having her on the team, we are grateful for the knowledge, compassion, and encouragement she brought to her work and the many lives she touched along the way.
Tammy’s favorite part of her role was facilitating WIN’s First-Time Homebuyer classes and working one-on-one with clients as they took steps toward purchasing their first home. She saw each success as a team effort, recognizing the support of her fellow WINners in making those milestones possible.
One phrase Tammy often shared with colleagues during challenging client interactions was, “We will get an understanding.” It’s a fitting reflection of the wisdom she brought to her work and the patience she showed others. In fact, Tammy chose Proverbs 4:7 as a meaningful reminder: “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”
Thank you, Tammy, for 5½ wonderful years of service, for uplifting others, and for being such an important part of the WIN community. We wish you all the happiness in this next chapter!
