I received another message from my dear friend Nancy Peterson, former Community Cats Program Manager, the Humane Society of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-secondary-color\">&#8220;Congratulations on the 20th anniversary of your office. That\u2019s quite an accomplishment!\u201d<\/span><\/p><cite>Nancy Peterson, former Community Cats Program Manager<br>the Humane Society of the United States<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I met Nancy when I was practicing my internship at the Nonprofit Risk Management Center in 2000. I took a workshop on nonprofit management hosted by a nonprofit management support organization in Washington, DC. Nancy was a participant in the workshop. During a break, we went for lunch together (we had Thai foods, if my memory serves me correctly). I had fun talking with her. Both of us turned out to be cat persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, when I visit the US, she always welcomes me to stay together. During my stay, we always have fun. She also helped me correct my English to develop this site. I cannot thank her enough for her hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nancy currently sits on a board for two nonprofit organizations for cats. I admire her love and passion for not only her own cat (Jenny) but for all the cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We just chatted on ZOOM a few days ago. It was fun and 90 minutes passes so quickly. I hope to talk to you again soon \u2013 in person!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, my experiences in the nonprofit sector are based upon all the support and friendship by so many people. I am grateful to my friends for their support and friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the related post in Japanese <a href=\"https:\/\/sovap.net\/?p=538\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sovap.net\/?p=538\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>Written and posted by Mika Nakahara<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20 days have always passed since the New Year\u2019s Day.
