Testimonial
“I have never met an organization that so effectively promotes the success of hundreds of volunteer groups by focusing on sustainability of the organizations, promoting the importance of nonprofits in Howard County, and assessing the needs of the community. ACS is impressive in its purpose, leadership and staff.”
