If you are reading this, you are an expert. That's right! Your talents and experiences are useful to others if shared: assisting in a workshop for mom's only; parent, other family member or friend of a person with developmental delays; sharing stories; nonprofit agency director; puppet ministry; social group; teacher training; sacramental preparation; legal issues; ADA design; camping, etc., etc., etc. The NAfIM Talent File is the brain child of former NAfIM board member William Abright. Bill believes that each of our members has expertise valuable to someone else, if it is shared. Members who have responded to our call to share are listed here. Contact Us to be included on the list. |
