I wish I knew about NAPO when I first started organizing! This organization is full of wonderful people who generously share knowledge, tips, experience, and opportunities. The members are service oriented to the community, which was one of the ways I first heard about NAPO Arizona. I enjoy serving on the board and learn more all the time. I am proud to call these colleagues my friends.
