2021 Voice of the Year:
Trudy Eyrich
During our seated program, CEO Tosha Connors surprised gala patrons with the announcement of the 2021 My Sister's House Voice of the Year award. Our very own Trudy Eyrich, Director of Finance, was the awardee and was stunned by the announcement!
Of Trudy's commitment to service and advocacy on behalf of domestic violence victims across the Lowcountry, Tosha said, "Trudy's dedication to victims in need is second to none. Her generosity of spirit, tenacious perseverance, and belief that every life is worthy of freedom from violence guides her, both professionally and personally. I'm honored to work with her, to know her, and to count her as a friend and fellow advocate."
