Leaning on an organization's founding principles and history can guide future strategy and ensure long-term sustainability. 💬 NOTABLE QUOTES "Impact isn't just off of how well you can do a test or impact isn't off of how great I can be at my job, but impact is how I can make a small contribution to someone to let them go back to school and feel like they can keep going." - Bionka Barryer
