Board of Directors

The Founder

Elrethia Arvie Triplett - I completed 2 years as an accounting clerk at Dickinson Business School. I worked in management for 18 years at Miller Curtain Company. I owned Triplett Accessories Company for 6 years and Commercial and Residential Cleaning Services for 15 successful years.

Being in management has taught me how to be a strong leader and encourage others. Patience is one of those skills that everyone thinks they have until work gets really tough. Flexibility means understanding that there are often multiple ways to complete a task.

I have been an entrepreneur for more than 21 years. The hardest thing to do is maintaining the will to keep persistence and believing that you can do all things and nothing is impossible.

We are all planted here with a purpose!

Giving back to the community has been the focal point of my life and purpose. To help those in underserved communities live their best life ignited me to create this nonprofit organization.

The Director

Clem Dee Triplett - I retired after 20 years of Honorable Service. I have worked supply as a warehouseman, forklift operator, tractor trailer driver, air craft parts inspector, material handling equipment trainer, and a quality assurance evaluator. During my career in the service, I was a Non-Commissioned Officer writing evaluation on troops performances and disciplinary actions when needed. I was a Team Chief and assistant on many temporary duty assignments around the country, and overseas supervising 7 or more personnel daily. I am a Persian Gulf War veteran.

During my time in the service, management of people, resources, and equipment was a necessity to accomplish missions and other taskings. My experiences and knowledge was a valuable asset in obtaining the maximum time and placement of key personnel in the proper areas needed.

I was employed 20 years with VIA Metropolitan Transit Company (Retired) as a Bus Operator.

I was a member of what is known as the Extra Board. We are reserve operators. When a run needed to go out and the regular operator was unavailable, we drove the route. As an extra board operator, we knew all the routes around the city. I was an On Job Trainer for the Training Department, became an Extra Board Mentor for future drivers in training (2 weeks per class) one student, he or she would shadow me, learning the ins and outs of the board, preparing them for the long hours of work, time management, understanding scheduling times, drivers work paddles for each route, how to do a Bus Change, how to handle a bus in tow, and most importantly make it to work on time daily including weekend and the rules of the job; also showing them the correct Customer Service protocol.
