Built upon a strong connection to the Wilson College of Textiles that began when she stepped foot onto NC State’s campus in 1971, Nancy Webster\u2019s lifelong commitment and contributions to her alma mater are nothing short of exemplary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In honor of the remarkable legacy she has created as a seasoned service leader, Webster was named the recipient of the 2024 Bill Franklin Volunteer of the Year Award, presented by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE)<\/a> District III. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am honored to be recognized in this way,\u201d Webster says, animatedly. \u201cMy involvement with the Wilson College of Textiles was predicated upon strong personal relationships, trust, integrity and honesty. I believe life\u2019s journey is all about relationships, empathy and enriching the lives of others. At this time in my life, I enjoy being able to do that by giving my time, talents and treasure to the institution that has given me so much.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The prestigious award Webster received was established in 2015 in memory of Bill Franklin, an engaged CASE volunteer who was committed to educating others about the power of volunteerism and philanthropy. Webster\u2019s passion for giving back mirrors Franklin\u2019s dedication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Her lifelong dedication to our college, passion for mentoring the next generation of textile leaders, vital service on the North Carolina Textile Foundation Board of Directors and outstanding professional achievements make Nancy the epitome of an enthusiastic volunteer.”
