 Theresa Kramer-Burgess, Social Media Coordinator

After picking up a volunteer opportunities flyer at an outdoor event, Theresa began doing social media for Volunteer Alexandria in September 2017. She thought it sounded like a good way to give back using her experience as a marketer for mission-driven organizations. More than four years later, she continues to be amazed at the positive power of social media.

Her favorite social media posts are the Volunteer Shout Outs which show the tremendous generosity of our community and the difference that one person can make. She credits her work with Volunteer Alexandria for helping her keep a healthy outlook on life, i.e., staying sane, while quarantining with her family during COVID.

A native of the DMV, Theresa puts an “r” in Washington, a “e” in Maryland, and her heart in Virginia. She enjoys Swings coffee, the Kennedy Center Millenium Stage, and fireworks, especially at the Alexandria Birthday Party. She lives with her husband, daughter, and a cat who likes to help with the social media posts.

Theresa donates 90% of her time to Volunteer Alexandria and we couldn't do what we do without her commitment, energy, skills, talents, and time she spends with us.

Originally from California, and after multiple moves across the country, Elizabeth settled in the DMV and has lived in Alexandria 32 of the last 34 years since then.  She enjoyed a career initially in corporate finance and then in information technology, ultimately working for IBM for 30 years in software sales to the Federal Government and then the Mid-Atlantic commercial clients then finally winding up in Worldwide sales administration.

 She has been a supporter of Volunteer Alexandria events for over ten years and has been volunteering for the annual Toy Drive since 2016.  When she retired from IBM in 2021, she was looking for opportunities to spend more time giving back and started signing up for volunteer opportunities through VolALX.  Now, in addition to reading, gardening, traveling, raising her college age children and spending time with her husband and their cat, Mango, she is a regular in our office assisting the coordination of our annual events. Return to top
