“Susan Hyatt’s (Business Nonprofit CONNECTIONS) approach makes business sense. She has inspired me and helped me develop strategic ways to grow my own business into a viable entity while contributing to causes that resonate for me. Integrating my business’ mission with philanthropic and charitable activities gives me the side benefit of having more personal time for leisure activities as well, and knowing I am doing my part to leave the world in a better place.”
