" Individual stones we throw into the water may be small, bu the ripples they produce travel great distances. It’s the possibility for social change by the cumulative effect of many small, positive and individual actions that I find most exciting. I look forward to tossing a lot more stones in the water through my involvement with Employ to Empower" testimonial 1394
