What advice would you offer for other nonprofit leaders?
Dallice: Share. Keep your focus on what’s important for your organization. Work outside of your comfort zone.
What does this award mean for you and your organization?
Dallice: This award comes at a perfect time in our organization’s life. It serves as a spring board for our next level of growth. It markets and promotes our organization and expertise past our current realm of exposure. Since I plan to use the award money attend a special political school, it will propel us into a broader and more influential political arena.
