"If I could convey anything to your readership, we are in need of good people. It's a positive place to be. It's a really encouraging and positive place for kids. We do a lot of excellent things for kids. And I don't know any other profession where you can say and do that daily. So we need good people. And I know they're out there. And I'd love to talk to people about how we can partner with them, turn them loose, and empower them to pay it forward because there's a lot of joy in that."
