TESTIMONIALS

As we were developing a community involvement program for our employees at Grant Thornton, we reached out to NEW for assistance. The input received was invaluable on everything from identifying organizations to training. Our employees raved about the board training. Many wanted to get involved with community organizations at the board level, but did not know how or what to expect. After just two hours of training, their concerns turned to enthusiasm. The BoardConnect program makes the entire process that much easier.
