Volunteerism

Below are some of my current and past activities, along with some sites that provide volunteer matching services.

Past Volunteer Activities

Operation Job Match of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society
Operation Job Match assists people with Multiple Sclerosis and other physical disabilities to make employment decisions. In 1999, I created a very basic Web site that followed the color scheme of the organization's new marketing materials. I received the 1999 Services Award from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society National Capital Chapter for my work on the site.

I occasionally provide pro bono Web services (consultation, design, development, online marketing) to non-profit organizations. Site hosting is available via ReadyHosting.com for $50/year if arranged through Virtual Mélange Contact me if you're interested.
