Great teachers inspired Colleen Cullitan to want to learn and explore subjects that��she did not realize interested her. This encouragement propelled her through school and��helped her build confidence as a leader. Now, she is using her talents to encourage��others through her active work with many local community groups.

Colleen is an enthusiastic board member of the Boys & Girls Club of Benton Harbor,��First Tee of Benton Harbor, the Berrien County Health Plan, and the Berrien Community Foundation. She served on many of the boards for over a decade and has served several terms in an officer position.

Recently, Colleen served as president of the board of directors when the Boys & Girls��Club of Benton Harbor opened two new facilities in Benton Harbor with generous
community support: the Fettig Youth Clubhouse and the Joel E. Smilow Teen Center.��Both sites offer state-of-the-art technology, academic assistance, access to the arts, and��physical education opportunities to more children than was possible before.��

“It was a five-year process to keep our children in the forefront and meet the growing��needs of the community,” Colleen stated. “We wanted to be sure that we are providing��the education and tools that will give hope and act as a springboard for our children’s��future.”

Colleen Cullitan received the Alumni Service Award in 2013.
