“I feel very privileged that the Discovery Center was selected to participate in this program. We’re getting clarity on what we need to be doing.  In both the classes and one-on-one coaching, we’re getting new tools to use. The whole program is helpful, and it’s giving us the resources to go back to our board and make forward progress.”

— Anne Thille, Executive Director
