    Professionally, understanding how other organizations (outside of my own) fit into the overall social landscape of the Great Akron area would offer much needed growth and perspective. As many would attest, volunteerism feeds the soul. Currently, something I'm missing from my professional and personal life is an organization to pour myself into, which is why joining a Board is an interest of mine.
