I met Mary Jo at a national CHARACTER COUNTS! training where she was working as an administrator. It became evident almost instantly who she was on the inside and that she was an ambassador of character period. I got to know her better and she touched my heart forever. She is what CHARACTER COUNTS! is all about. Congratulations Mary Jo!
