More feedback...
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
making new friends and knowing I am making a difference in the world regarding APS Awareness and helping APS patients & educating medical personnel.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
great and easy to work with.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
make chapters in every state and be able to afford to attend more conferences.
Ways to make it better...
we had more committed volunteers.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
financial. With the economy being tight, donations are lower and makes it hard for us to do what we need to do and attend what we want to attend.
One thing I'd also say is that...
the staff, volunteers, medical advisers, and board of directors are a hard working bunch. I am proud to work with them.
