Week 1: Houston Texans vs. Buffalo Bills- September 13

Honoree: Becky Rossman

Becky Rossman is a purpose-driven CEO, U.S. Army Veteran, and certified Grief Educator, whose life's work has been shaped by one simple belief: service doesn't end when the uniform comes off. For 25 years, Becky has dedicated her career to helping individuals, families, and communities navigate trauma, loss, and recovery. Today, as CEO of Tuesday's Promise, she leads an organization serving 9/11 family members, first responders, and families affected by post-9/11 military loss through case management, peer support, and Gold Star Youth Mentoring. Becky's commitment to service began at age 17, when she enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserves and became an honor graduate as a 63 Whiskey/ Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic. Three months after fulfilling her six year commitment, Becky was called out of the Individual Ready Reserves immediately following the attacks on September 11th, 2001, to activate with the 733rd Maintenance Company. Her unit was attached to the 528th Special Operations Sustainment Brigade at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where she served from October 2001 through September 2002. Her military service was recognized with the Army Achievement Medal, Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal, Armed Forces Reserve Medal with Mobilization, and Meritorious Unit Commendation Medal. That experience compelled Becky to spend her career helping others navigate trauma and loss which continues through Tuesday's Promise. The organization walks alongside families through grief and life transitions. As a certified Grief Educator and crisis responder with the National Organization for Victim Assistance, Becky brings both lived experience and professional expertise to this work. She holds a Master's Degree in Applied Forensic Psychology and is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Her leadership has been recognized with numerous honors, including the Athena Leadership Woman of the Year Award, YMCA Community Service Award, 40 Leaders Under 40, 25 Women in Leadership, the Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Ethics, Governor's Award for Unique Services, Chamber of Commerce Community Wealth Award, and Community Health Award through the University of Illinois.
