During his transition to teaching, he volunteered his time in the Gift Shop at Upper Valley Medical Center. In that capacity, he served on the Upper Valley Medical Center Auxiliary Board's Scholarship Committee, awarding over $20,000 annually to students of the medical profession.
Sandra Streitenberger, Vice President and Co-Founder TeKonnect's co-founder and Board Vice-President brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our effort in the accounting field. With over 25 years experience, working her way up to Finance Manager at a local fortune 500 company, Sandra will prove to be a valuable asset to our mission. Sandra is currently a Professor of Accounting and the Chair of the Accounting Department at Edison State Community College. Her love for education and helping those in need is evident through her teaching style in the classroom, helping students rise to the challenge while seeking new careers and dreams. She also assisted those in need through volunteerism as a Master Gardener for Miami County.
Kierma Phillips, Board Member Kierma is a current and aspiring accounting student who has recently returned to school after starting a family. She is determined and driven to expand her knowledge to create a better future for her family. Upon starting her studies, Kierma did not have all of the technology resources to complete her assigned course work due to financial hardships. In a chance meeting with TeKonnect's founders, she acquired a donated computer system ensuring her success through her educational journey. Kierma has expressed gratitude for this gift enabling her to complete her studies online while being home to care for her children. What better voice for a newly established non-profit than that of their first recipient. TeKonnect is proud to have Kierma on their Board of Directors.

She is a volunteer at Upper Valley Medical Center (UVMC), a past President of the Auxiliary Board, and a Deacon at the First Presbyterian Church. She enjoys giving her time and volunteering in the community. Today, Dottie now volunteers her time toward our cause. We are gracious to be the recipients of her friendship and to witness her many contributions to humanity.
