Dear Leadership Lorain County Alumni,

Greetings from the Leadership Lorain County Class of 2007. As you know, Leadership Lorain County is one of the many assets in our County. Without a doubt, each year the class project strengthens Leadership Lorain County’s legacy and builds new assets for our area. Many of our past projects have grown into vital organizations and programs that today provide beneficial services to our community.

We want to share with you one of the projects being undertaken by the Leadership Lorain County 2007 Class: The Non Profit Volunteer Consultants (NPVC). NPVC is a collaboration between Leadership Lorain County and the Nordson Corporation Foundation. Its mission is to help nonprofits improve the efficiency of their operations by providing them with professional consultants on a volunteer basis.

How it works is that local nonprofits needing assistance in the areas of Technology, Marketing, Grant Writing, Fundraising, Budget Development, Human Resources and Legal Services can contact NPVC for help. Once a nonprofit has contacted the NPVC, they will be matched with a volunteer who has the expertise in that specific area.

Our goal is to have a rich list of volunteers with diverse experience so we can answer the call to assist these organizations when needed. That is why we need your help. As Leadership Lorain County alumni, you have the experience, expertise and professionalism we need to help these nonprofits and make NPVC successful.

We are currently seeking volunteers in the above-mentioned categories. As a volunteer, you are not required to make an ongoing commitment – we just need your willingness to help out for a short period of time when called upon.

If you are interested in volunteering or would like more information on how you can be part of this amazing project, please go to (website) and click on the Non Profit Volunteer Consultants link for more information.

Please respond by April 15, 2007.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Leadership Lorain County Class of 2007 NPVC Committee
