IT HAPPENS AT STN

"There's a lot of discussion about collaboration, and I think that's the whole key about what Eric is doing here with STN is bringing those nonprofit leaders together to make a greater impact."

"It has been so incredible to partner with an organization that understands the needs in the community and understands the complexity of how to address them."

"This is something that was needed in the community for such a long time, but it takes someone who understands the business of communication and connection to do something on this level."

"The shows that STN puts together, give you resources and information on the people and organizations that are available to help people and gives you ways to contact those organizations and businesses."
