Congratulations on your new roles!

  • Kara Muchow has joined the team at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin as a Director of Development in the Fox Valley area.

  • Holly Rutter started a new role--remotely!--as the Marketing Communications Specialist at Catalpa Health.

  • Amanda Moore recently joined the team at NPlace.org as the Director of Community Engagement.

A little more about NPlace -- this newly created social enterprise helps

nonprofits build capacity. With some of the new challenges brought on by

COVID 19, one of the key goals this year for NPlace is to help nonprofits leverage

cloud based solutions, such as Office 365 and Microsoft Teams, so they can work

productively from anywhere.
