Messages from Hard Hatted Women


Our colleague Sylvia Bingham (left) with Calli Frehmeyer, immediate past HHW Board president.

The staff, board, volunteers, and AmeriCorps VISTA members of Hard Hatted Women are devastated at the loss of our colleague, Sylvia Bingham. We extend our condolences to her family and friends here in Cleveland and in California.

Sylvia was a shining example of the best in America’s young adults. She was intelligent, well-traveled, and optimistic. She could have excelled in any of several careers with notable firms, yet she chose to dedicate a year of her life to helping others through national service in AmeriCorps VISTA (volunteers in service to America). She volunteered to move across the country to work for Hard Hatted Women so that women might raise themselves up through skilled, good-paying jobs. In her brief time with us she brought insight, passion and energy to our work. We will miss her.
