As a member of Hands On Network and Assistant to the Vice President of Knowledge Development and Conference Associate, I was challenged to the NOW Service Project. Not knowing how service projects worked or the direction I was headed, I embrassed the opportunity and engaged myself in 'Project NOW' along with so many other Great Individuals.

To bring awareness of the "Urgency of NOW!" What can we do NOW to create "Change" in our communities? - VOLUNTEER – ENGAGE - GIVE BACK -
