Atlanta (March 2, 2015) – Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP has given long-time employee Sheri McCurdy the Wells Award for Outstanding Service. The award goes to an individual who has gone above and beyond dedicating time and energy to the firm’s MMMPact community outreach, as well as other community organizations.
McCurdy was honored for her dedication to a number of efforts, including the firm’s high school intern program, which encourages minority students to enter the field of business law. She is also a strong supporter of the Service Juris and Hands On Atlanta volunteer efforts, and organizations including the March of Dimes and Kate’s Club. She first became interesting in helping the community years ago, when she was a Girl Scout.
“It really doesn’t get any better than helping to give a hand up, or assist in creating beauty,” she says. “I’m very fortunate, and a lot of people aren’t. I’ve always been aware that it’s a beautiful world with an abundance of resources, but that ugliness and lack exist; if I can spend a little time to help relieve that ugliness and lack, for myself and others, I’m all in.”
A legal assistant, McCurdy has been with the firm for 15 years. The Wells Award is named for MMM Managing Partner Louise Wells.
