I am inspired by the work and commitment of the team at MiSN. They are in tune to the needs of their clients in very immediate ways while also being forward thinkers in the ever changing social and economic environments we live in. The MiSN team are advocates for the communities they served. Their ability to stay focused and navigate through the fears and challenges of the current COVID 19 pandemic is exceptional and their work will “continue to build trusting relationships that form the basis of social transformation”.
