A Word from NCI's Executive Director,
Rebecca Zoll
 'Tis
the season for giving and thanking those who give...
We are very fortunate at NCI to have
exceptionally giving members, who throughout the
year have made very generous donations. These extra
donations of time, expertise, money, and products
make a huge difference in our ability to serve our
entire membership better and operate with a lean
budget. The types of donations we receive throughout
the year include services such as, tickets to local
community functions that are important for NCI staff
and president to attend, design and printing, technology
needs, hosting meetings for us, legal and human
resource advice, office supplies, such as, paper,
printer ink or toner, and many other items.
I, along with the NCI Board of Directors,
send a special "thank you" to these members for
their extra dedication and donations in 2008.
Thanks for your donations in
2008!
