Reflection

This is my current job position and we are a small team. I have learned a lot about myself and how much it takes to build a fee for service within a non profit. From the inception where I pitched this project to the foundation founder, to the actual building of the department, and to now where I am learning aspects of sales that I have never experienced before -I have been fully committed to the success of this project.
