ARAWC: How were you introduced to ARAWC?
Deborah: I first had the opportunity to meet the PartnerSource team and learn more about their business and attended their annual conference. At the conference, I was invited by an ARAWC member to attend the ARAWC membership meeting to learn about QCARE and consider getting involved, so I did! I was impressed with the conference overall and the concept of the non-subscription model as an option. Companies and individuals like having choices.
