Review for Womenstrust Inc, Wilmot Flat, NH, USA
WomensTrust Inc is a wonderful but barebones organization. Staff are pressed for time. I was able to see a need to celebrate a recent cash award given to the founder by another women's organization in NYC. I showed up with pen and pad and pressed the staff for details. Kristen Ash, WT's well organized administrator, gave me valuable background material and a copy of the founder's speech upon accepting the award, I contacted another volunteer who is a gifted writer to compose the press release, and got help with a photo to accompany it. I used my contact list to insure publishing success with followup calls and emails. Low and behold, free publicity was the result.
