Important professional milestone achieved! Extra delighted that I could choose "Budgets under $250k/Boards without staff" as an organization type on my profile.

Nothing like two-days' notice to give congressional testimony... and asked for your written testimony two days in advance! Oh, well, Diane Yentel and the National Council of Nonprofits will make us proud!

Stepped outside my comfort bubble last night to meet my representative in the Virginia House of Delegates, which is 51/49 blue. I live in the swingiest of swing districts, and this guy is standing in the gap to protect all of us. Happy to shake his hand and say Thanks. All hands on deck in 2025.
