 LEADERSHIP MONTGOMERY COUNTY CLASS PROJECT IN FULL SWING - The 2007 Leadership Montgomery County (LMC) class is in full production of this year's class project, HelpOurCounty.com , "Your Connection to the Nonprofit Community". LMC's 34-member class has been working continuously on the development and implementation of the website's design, funding, marketing, legal compliance, nonprofit outreach and continuance. The HelpOurCounty.com website is designed to provide resources for the entire county by linking nonprofit organizations to the business and residential community. The website is scheduled to be up and running by May 9, just 15 days prior to the class graduation on Thursday, May 24.
The Humane Society of Montgomery County is an example of just one of the county's nonprofit agencies that can benefit from the HelpOurCounty.com website. One might assume that the Humane Society would be in constant need of dog and cat food when in reality one of their greatest needs is kitten and puppy food. The Immediate Needs posting board will help better convey this message to the public. Pictured is Tessa Keel, operations manager for the Humane Society with some members of the LMC Class and a few furry friends.
