"We are looking forward to working with Delia to determine the effectiveness of our service, and to identify how to better engage nonprofit organizations in doing what they do best - serving their communities," said Phil Sykes, president of Community Season. "We hope to gain some meaningful feedback that we will be able to use to improve our tools to help nonprofits better do their jobs."
