TESTIMONIALS

"I appreciate that Kathy shared a wide spectrum of requirements and expectations for the Volunteer Coordinator. I am relatively new in this role (eight months) and I never dreamed there were so many "hat changes" in just 10 minutes of any day! Her training will help me, and others, to effectively meet the requirements of this position. Great presentation, very much appreciated, thank you."
