WORCESTER — The WooSox Foundation recognized Jodie Gerulaitis, first vice president of Community Relations at Country Bank, during its recent Fourth Annual WooSox Foundation Honors Gala. She was honored for her outstanding contributions to the community, particularly in advancing education across Central and Western Massachusetts.
Although Gerulaitis was traveling internationally at the time of the event, her parents proudly accepted the award on her behalf, while she joined the celebration virtually.
In her role at Country Bank, Jodie leads the bank’s community relations and financial literacy initiatives, delivering education programs that empower children with essential money management skills. She also spearheads Country Bank’s partnership with the WooSox Foundation Most Valuable Teacher program, an initiative that celebrates and elevates educators who make a meaningful difference in students’ lives throughout the region.
“Jodie’s passion for education and her commitment to recognizing the true MVPs in our communities, our teachers, reflect the very heart of what this award represents,” said Dr. Charles Steinberg of the WooSox. “Her impact reaches far beyond the classroom and continues to strengthen our region for generations to come.”
