Julia Hornack received the Tom Roche Memorial Award. Tom was an early supporter of Kinnect who knew from his experience working with people in recovery how important family connections were. Each year, Kinnect honors a person who who displays leadership, strength, generosity, and compassion, the characteristics he embodied.

Julia has served on the Kinnect Board of Trustees for 12 years. She connected with our mission and vision because of the extremely close relationship that she has with her family. She intuitively knew how important family connections are in helping people reach their fullest potential.

She is a past board president and currently chairs the Development Committee and heads up the Scrabble Tournament.
