Memory Lane – State Employees, Inc.

In Memory of our volunteers

Volunteers are essential to the advancement of nonprofit organizations and deserve to be recognized. The more effective nonprofit organizations are at gaining, developing, and maintaining a dedicated, committed, and highly identified voluntary workforce, the more likely nonprofit organizations will succeed in achieving organizational missions and have a more significant influence on the economy.
