This week we are joined by Cassie Wick of Butte, MT. Cassie is an Independent Living Specialist at the Montana Independent Living Project and a small business owner. She is also a board member of the YMCA in Butte, The Silver Bow Developmental Disabilities Council, and Mainstreet Uptown Butte, Inc.  She has an amazing story of the power of the nonprofit sector to create better communities. Cassie shares how area nonprofits helped to revitalize Uptown Butte and create new economic engines for that community.

We also talk about the importance of taking care of nonprofit employees, so they can better serve the nonprofit. We explore how nonprofit employees can make great board members and the importance of mentorship among board members.
