"For the past few years, Betsy and I have served as board members on the Rise Community Services Partnership located in Mercer County, New Jersey.  I have been a member for several years and have witnessed a measurable growth and professionalism since Betsy’s arrival and election to Board Vice President.  Her knowledge and understanding of the dynamics of the Rise Board are most impressive. Having served on small ad hoc committees with Betsy evaluating a senior staff member and full board meetings  I can attest to the fact that no matter how large or small a group, Betsy always brings wonderful ideas to the table. In the past few years, our Board has expanded in size, responsibility, and professionalism.  I truly believe that Betsy’s arrival

had much to do with our success."
