The people who give the most are often thanked the least. That changed in the room last week. Here's what one attendee had to say about the Ripples event with Paul Wesselman, "I considered his presentation a Valentine to nonprofit leaders who work so hard for others and seldom hear how valued they truly are." Thank you to everyone who joined us on February 12th and for all the work you do in our community!
