Lauree Weaver
Director of Operations
N.E.C. Solutions
"It has been such a rewarding experience to be part of the ESC team. When I joined ESC, I was impressed by the depth and quality of the training that was offered to close the gap between my career experience and being a coach for nonprofits. I have had the opportunity to use that learning and work directly with leaders of organizations who are committed to their mission and to making the world a better place. The greatest reward is the sincere appreciation that our clients express for the contribution that ESC makes to their organization’s success."
