BITUARY

ADA Vice President of Human Resources

enny Trinko Dies

A lively and agreeable woman hasnot only the merit of liveliness andagreeableness herself, but that alsoof awakening them in others.

— Grevile

e would be hard-pressed to finda woman who exemplified thatquote more so than Genny

rinko. On the evening of July 15,007, Genny Trinko, ADA’s vice presi-ent of Human Resources, passed awayfter a valiant fight with cancer. Buthankfully for her family, friends, andolleagues at ADA, the contributions ofenny will be passed on.A significant portion of those contri-

utions include Genny’s academicnd professional accomplishments.erhaps sowing the seeds of a suc-essful ADA career early in life,enny received her bachelor’s degree

rom the University of Illinois at Chi-ago in Physical Education and, sub-equently, her first job was as aealth, first aid, and physical educa-ion instructor at Holy Family Acad-my High School. As time passed,enny’s uncanny knack for relating

o people and leading them steereder toward a career in human re-ources. Before answering a calling atDA, she assumed several human re-ources positions of escalating titles

0002-8223/07/10709-0017$32.00/0

nd responsibilities in various organi-ations in the late 1980s and through-ut the 1990s. In March 2000, theaths of talent and opportunity inter-ected when Genny was hired by ADAs the Human Resources Manager.hortly thereafter, Genny earned heraster’s degree in Human Resources

rom Loyola University, which pre-eded her promotion to director of Hu-an Resources in 2001. Genny was

romoted at ADA once more in 2005,his time to Vice President of Humanesources. It is certainly safe to say

hat growth and development was aominant motif in the life and careerf Genny Trinko.However, to focus solely on the pro-

Genny Trinko

ignificant disservice to the personallements that truly defined her toach and all. Being in human re-ources was her job—but being hu-an was her nature. To know Gennyas to know a woman that truly

ared. She cared about her friends,he cared about her colleagues, sheared about her family, she caredbout human resources, she caredbout ADA, and she was passionatebout them all. “Apropos” barely doesustice to the fact that of the six keyttributes of ADA employees thatenny helped to instill in the work-lace—Service Attitude, Accountabil-ty, Professional Demeanor, Passionor Knowledge, Innovativeness andespect for Differences—she whollymbodied all six.So as we remember and examineenny’s impact on the Association,e can all take comfort in her ever-resent legacy: her commitment torofessional and personal develop-ent, her passion for diversity with

egard to staff and membership, hertrong ethical base and insistencepon, as she always put it, “doing theight thing,” and a tremendous hearthat governed the actions of a strong,ntelligent, and courageous woman.enny Trinko exemplified so much ofhat is good about ADA, and staffill endeavor to enrich ADA in re-embering what was good about

enny Trinko.
