Member Testimonial

I credit meeting my board goals this year to Spokes and their expert resources. As a result R.A.C.E. Matters is on a solid foundation with our structure, and we have added several outstanding new board members. As board president, I have been able to position R.A.C.E. Matters to continue to meet the everchanging needs of the community, grow the board and fulfill our mission.
