She quickly rose through the ranks, becoming the youngest RCAP manager at age 23. Nearly a decade later, Glennon now serves as CFO. Under Glennon's leadership, RCAP paid off a $355,000 loan with a 15% decrease in fees while simultaneously building the organization's cash reserves to almost $200,000. RCAP primarily relies on federally and state funding, which entails complicated reporting requirements. Glennon is proud of the fact that in 2021, RCAP is projected to earn $61.6 million in revenue, a 40% growth, all while still maintaining strict compliance. Glennon is described as a roll- up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work leader. Her positive nature, enthusiasm, and ability to connect with people help her stand out as a business professional with heart. When she is not working, Glennon spends what little free time she has enjoying her busy home life with her husband and two young sons, visiting Central Mass. attractions, T-ball and soccer games. - S.P. What movie character would you like to be? Merida from Brave. She's determined and works hard. My boys think she is cool, and I had to choose a Disney movie for them. Is there alien life? No Why do you live in Central Mass.? I grew up here and couldn't imagine living anywhere else with my family. It's a great community and has anything you could possibly need. When a statue eventually gets built of you, what will the plaque say? Family first. Work hard. Be consistent. Stay positive. Do the right thing.

Boasting nearly 60,000 followers, Lam, who worked as an international equities sales trader in a previous life, has found herself a niche market in high demand. With more than 1,000 community support agriculture shares distributed over three seasons, people in New England just can't seem to get enough of the flowers Lam grows with her family on a plot of land she purchased in 2013, after leaving the finance world. Lam shares her bounty with others, particularly social justice-oriented groups. In the last year, Fivefork has donated to the Asian Outreach Project at the Greater Boston Legal Services and Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust, as well as donated plants and flowers to healthcare workers at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, Mass. General Hospital in Boston, and Newton-Wellesley Hospital. Under Lam's leadership, the farm partners with the nonprofit Ascentria Care alliance to provide employment opportunities to members of Worcester's refugee and immigrant communities. - M.B. What world record would you like to have? Growing the world's biggest pumpkin What is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you? The little kindnesses our customers display, like bringing coffee/donuts/ snacks/dinner when they know we're super busy at the farm, notes of appreciation in the mail, etc. What Central Mass. community is best? Worcester, of course – totally underrated in terms of the food and the art scene What items have you crossed off your bucket list? Flying in a helicopter (Kauai, Hawaii), leaving my corporate job to start a farm (duh!), seeing baby pandas in the wild (Chengdu, China) Grace Lam, 35 Owner & head farmer Fivefork Farms, in Upton Residence: Upton Birthplace: Boston College: Emory University
