Men on a Mission 2023: Hamid Amin

NONPROFIT I WISH MORE PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT
Vera Lloyd Presbyterian Family Services, it had its early beginnings in 1910, and since that time the organization has continued to serve youth and families from all over the state of Arkansas with love, care and compassion.

BEST CAREER MOMENT SO FAR
I am most proud of the role I played in leading Vera Lloyd Presbyterian Family Services through its very first accreditation process by the Council on Accreditation.

HOW I KNEW THIS WAS MY PASSION
I started my career at Vera Lloyd in 2001. This is where I feel at home. The mission perfectly aligned with my wish to do something meaningful for a living. I feel blessed to be part of its 100-year history.

MY FIRST JOB AND WHAT IT TAUGHT ME
My first job was working in the bookstore my family owned in Manama, Bahrain. It taught me about customer service, exposed me to various customers from different parts of the world and taught me business insight.

WHAT KEEPS ME COMING BACK TO MY JOB EVERY DAY
Our mission to heal, prepare and empower children, youth and families in need. As a senior executive, it is important to me that I do my best in order for us to collectively provide the best possible care.
