When asked if there’s anything she would like to share regarding her involvement, Debbie said, “Volunteering has helped keep me employed over the years”. “Getting out there, going to Institute and making those connections…makes the difference”. Whether it be finding a job or the right contact at a company to obtain the information you need to do your job, personal connections are a key to being successful.
