CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| Our staffing relies on grant funding, and it is challenging to get grants renewed or to obtain new grants when an old grant expires, so we can retain staff. So far we have managed to do that, however, it certainly is a challenge. Also, we'd like to hire an admin staff member, but cannot find a grant or other funding for that. |
