Joan E. Hunt, leads with her whole heart, at Promise and at home. Whether you interact with her on the street, in a Zoom meeting, court-side, at morning drop-off, in the gym, or in between her twins’ extracurriculars, Joan listens fully, leads by example, and is driven by the same core values that are the foundation of our organization. So, it is with great pride and passion that Team Promise announces her latest on a long list of accolades as we head into Mother’s Day Weekend! 📰
👑🌷🏡
GHPN Executive Director, Joan E. Hunt, has been named one of four finalists for the 27th Annual “Capital Region Best Mom of the Year,” presented by St. Peter’s Health Partners and the City of Albany.
Joan was nominated by Hudson’s own Chief of Police, Mishanda Franklin, whose nomination speaks to the partnerships and relationships she has cultivated as well as the impact on our entire community.
This Sunday, May 10th (Mother’s Day) Joan will be recognized alongside three other incredible finalists at the Tulip Festival in Albany’s Washington Park, where Capital Region’s Best Mom will be crowned at 11:00 a.m. on the Lakehouse Stage.
Please join us in congratulating these amazing mothers from the Capitol Region and celebrating our very own, Joan! 🎉
