Pam Morrison

Pam Morrison is a longtime employee and leader at RentGrow, a Yardi subsidiary in Waltham, Mass., who has great passion for her work as RentGrow’s manager of business analytics. She’s an expert on creating custom reports for clients and is excited about further integration of Yardi’s new business intelligence offerings, especially Yardi Orion for Sharepoint with RentGrow’s platform.

Outside of the office, Pam has the same commitment to her hometown of Chelmsford, where she grew up and now serves as the Recording Clerk for the town’s Finance Committee. She’s also a dedicated volunteer for the Chelmsford Women of Today, which supports education, service and fundraising projects on behalf of all kinds of causes and local organizations.

The Chelmsford Women are a division of United States Women of Today, which advocates leadership, personal growth and community service for by its members. Pam has recently helped make quilts for pediatric patients, urged grocery shoppers to purchase a donation for the local food bank, picked out Easter baskets for children affected by domestic violence, and bowled in a fundraiser for a battered women’s shelter. (She was a collegiate bowler at the University of Massachusetts, where she studied technical communications.)

The Chelmsford Women also supply the local fire and police departments with stuffed animals that they can give to children who might be affected by one of their service calls. And they purchase and deliver Mother’s Day gifts to the women living in a local battered women’s shelter.

“It’s been a big part of my life for many years. I’m extremely involved with the community through that, and I’ve made a lot of friends that I otherwise would never have met,” Pam told us. A rural community of 30,000 where preserving open space is important to residents, Chelmsford sounds like a great place to live and get to know your neighbors. It’s about a 45-minute drive (with traffic) from Waltham.

Family is also incredibly important to Pam, who helps her brother and sister care for their mother, now in her 80s. She and her mom enjoy visiting the Pickity Place in Mason, N.H., where a picturesque cottage built in 1786 served as the inspiration for artistic illustrations in the Little Golden Books’ version of Little Red Riding Hood – and guests can now enjoy gourmet meals sourced from the cottage gardens.

Pam also enjoys spending time with her five nieces and nephews and walking her dog, Chicklet, a Chihuahua. At work, she heads up the RentGrow “Fun Committee”, which organizes neat projects and treats for the company’s employees. Regular cooking contests, holiday festivities, and even giant crossword puzzles have been featured activities.
