Feedback & Keys to Success
How do you feel BAW participation benefited your organization and the local community?
Honestly it was our best attended event this year and I got so much positive feedback, especially from other departments that found it so useful. I had several people comment when taking pamphlets that the information would be useful with dealing with aging family members for example.
