Collapse ▲The EFNEP Enhancement General Fund Award, given in honor of Lorelei Jones Aldridge. Lorelei served as EFNEP Program Coordinator from 2004 to 2021. She began her career with EFNEP in 1997 as what was then known as a Nutrition Program Supervisor Agent who was responsible for managing EFNEP in the Southeast district. Lorelei rose in the EFNEP ranks in 2004, becoming the program’s coordinator for NC State University. Until her retirement, Lorelei was recognized nationally as a leader among EFNEP state coordinators and statewide for her passion for and commitment to EFNEP. Upon her retirement in 2021, the EFNEP Staff created the Lorelei Aldridge Jones Educator Support Award in an effort to honor Lorelei’s commitment to providing hands-on food preparation as part of EFNEP classes. Funds from the Lorelei Aldridge Jones Educator Support Award support EFNEP Educators as they improve their culinary skills and/or enhance food preparation and food equipment accessories.
