What makes a movement successful? Leaders tend to get the credit, and leadership is important, but sometimes it is the less visible support crew who do the heavy lifting. For the local environmental movement, Nancy Adams was the ultimate team player. She was never the president, but she was always present in every sense of the word. Whether it was the Kent Environmental Council or the Portage Parks District Foundation, leadership would frame the big ideas, and Nancy would organize the implementation with her tireless work ethic and attention to detail. She recruited workers and made sure they followed through. She maintained membership lists with accurate addresses and phone numbers, then organized teams to call each member to action for important events. Although she has been gone from Kent for several years, she left her stamp on the organizations she served and we still follow procedures and workflows that she established.
