 Tweetable Quotes:

“Nonprofits and not-for-profits are the same thing. It doesn’t mean you don’t make money. It just means you don’t give yourself whatever is left over at the end of the year. It gets reinvested back in the organization.” – Dr. Camille Hammond “You need to know about every single thing that goes on with your organization. If you completely depend on a lawyer, an accountant or some other person to do everything, you don’t know when they’re messing up.” – Dr. Camille Hammond “I love what I do. I go to sleep sometimes thinking about the work and I wake up thinking about the work. The work gives me energy.” – Dr. Camille Hammond
