MONTHLY SPONSOR

JULY SPONSOR – THANK YOU United Rentals

Thank you to our July program sponsor, Appalachian Queen Consulting and Public Relations, LLC!

“Appalachian Queen Consulting and Public Relations, LLC is the product of several conversations with Appalachian citizens who are trying to make a difference in their communities. These people have families and full-time jobs yet find time to participate in volunteer organizations. They expressed a need for assistance with event promotion, grant writing, and content writing. I also volunteer in my community and recognized a need for board consulting services that would provide solid research prior to making decisions on behalf of the organization.”
