“The 2018 NWA Leadership Conference was such an amazing experience for me. The conference showed me that being an advocate was a hidden passion of mine, because of the confidence I gained from meeting with

  • politicians. Since the

conference, I have made it a priority of mine to make more people aware of the great services WIC provides.” ~Sarah Krubsack, BFPC Wood County

ENDING QUOTE

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The

  • rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs

in the square holes. The ones who see things

  • differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they

have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Steve Jobs
