Patricia Palmer is affable and smart. She recently
became the full-time JPL Foundation Office Manager. She has been here for a while and we asked Trish,
as we call her, to share some news about herself:
“I’ve been with the
Jacksonville Public Library Foundation now for three years. I was blown away by the massiveness of the
Main Library when I arrived here to help out on a temporary basis. I have had the great privilege of meeting so
many wonderful people here at the Main Library and through the Foundation.
“My husband and I came here
from the Chicago area in 2004 to begin our search for property and finally
decided on a place to build our new home.
We have one son, who decided to stay in the Midwest, but within two
years he and his family moved down to Florida, also; they now reside in
Orlando.
“I like Jacksonville weather
most of the time. It is a far cry from
the experience of the Windy City, which we visited often to ride our tandem
bike along the lake front and Navy pier.
I don’t ride much here because most of the time it is just too hot.
“I have a background in
meeting/event planning, executive administration and office management/bookkeeping,
along with many other attributes acquired in my many years in the
workforce. I enjoy golf, racket ball, long walks on the beach and I do play basketball with our two grandsons—ages 10
and 4—on occasion.
“I’m looking forward to a new
dimension in how our JPL Foundation will move forward in its fundraising efforts
now that we have a fully staffed JPL Foundation Board of Directors and Suzanne
Hudson-Smith on board as our new Executive Director.”
