Emmaus’ CEO Jeanine Murphy was recently awarded the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network’s 2022 Excellence in Leadership Award at its annual award celebration. Jeanine, along with more than 120 professionals, was nominated this spring for one of the six Excellence awards. She was then named a finalist for the Leadership award.
This award recognizes Jeanine’s more than two decades of extraordinary leadership and her strategic vision, passion, integrity and innovation. Since opening its first shelter in 1987, Emmaus has served more than 40,000 people.
“Our mission of hope embraces the philosophy, ‘there but for the grace of God go you or I,’ Murphy said while accepting her award. “This award is the validation of the incredible work being done at Emmaus—changing lives one person at a time.”
Jeanine acknowledged the other finalists and thanked Emmaus’ compassionate staff, Board of Directors, and volunteers for their hard work and tremendous contributions to the organization. In recognition of Jeanine’s award, Emmaus will receive $500 from Citizens Bank.
