Re: 3 new messages in 2 topics - digest

NINA. I've kept bringing the idea to management at the YWCA, but
nothing has been done about it thus far. So I'd like to look outside
of my job to learn more about different jobs in the nonprofit sector;
whether it is worthwhile to stay in the nonprofit sector for work,
etc.
Any feedback is welcome. Andrew, do you have any idea who from NINA
expressed interest in mentoring?
Thanks,
Hilary
