(Syracuse, NY – May 15, 2013) The Central New Yo
rk Chapter of the American Red Cross has selected finance and data processing volunteer Soule Leiter, of Clay, as Volunteer of the Month for April 2013.
The Volunteer of the Month program, sponsored by Dunkin’ Donuts, recognizes a dedicated Red Cross volunteer for his or her hard work and commitment to the humanitarian organization.
Originally from Miami, Leiter moved to the Syracuse area in 1968. She earned a Master’s degree in Anthropology from Syracuse University and worked for 14 years in SU’s finance department. She retired as a consultant for SunGard Higher Education, a global provider of software and services to colleges, universities and foundations.
Leiter joined the Red Cross more than five years ago on the recommendation of Marci Henderson, the former Central New York Region CEO. She plays a major role as an assistant in the Finance Department, where she handles all cash deposits for the Central New York Region and also works with accounts payable. When the Red Cross recently changed operating systems, Leiter quickly learned the new software program while continuing her regular duties.
Dunkin’ Donuts has generously supplied nine Red Cross chapters and offices throughout Central and Northern New York with gift cards to distribute monthly to deserving volunteers.
Leiter received a $25 gift card as a token of appreciation for her dedicated volunteer service.
