The votes are in and the results have been tabulated: after a week of nominations and voting by our community, ELGL is thrilled to announce the winner of the Knope of the Week! As a reminder, The Knope of the Week honors individuals or groups who have done the most in the past week to advance the mission of ELGL.
Without further ado, the winner of the 30th Knope of the Week goes to the . . . .
Nathan and Heather Reagan, Handy & Reagan
In navigating the process for establishing ELGL as a non profit, we have greatly benefited from our attorney of record – Peter Watts, Jordan Ramis PC and our accountants of record – Nathan and Heather Reagan, Handy & Reagan. Each has generously donated their time and energy into ensuring ELGL establishes itself as an organization that is around for the long haul while maximizing its impact to the public and private sector.
