| • Court James talks about the Big Brothers Big Sisters Organization |
Court James is the Head of Human Resources at Raymond James and he also sits on the Board of Directors for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Pinellas County.
He currently serves as the Treasurer of the board. BBBS Pinellas serves Pinellas, Hernando, and Citrus counties. We were honored to have him as our guest speaker for our July
general meeting. Our recent donation to BBBS Pinellas was well appreciated because it costs up to $1000 to match each "little" with a "big".
However currently their main challenge is to find enough mentors for the children in the program. Currently there is a long waiting list. The Raymond James
Optimist Club is happy to support BBBS in any way that we can.
