Thanks to the hundreds of volunteers that lead and work on our committees, we have been able to build real work solutions for our members – they are truly at the heart of what we do.
Without a doubt our staff works hard, but ECNO wouldn’t be able to give boards anywhere near the value that we do without the incredible volunteers that not only guide us, but also roll up their sleeves to get the work done. It’s rewarding to learn from them every day.
