Hey there! I'm Jenna, and I work as the Front Desk Associate for McCormick Woods Association in Port Orchard, WA. Our Homeowner's Association is made up of almost 1,200 homes, and we're going to be growing to over 3,000 homes soon! Our community is busy with using Constant Contact as a resource to engage homeowners/residents on upcoming events, meetings, reminders, newsletters, outages - you name it! As a nonprofit, our goal is to work alongside homeowners in many aspects of this community. I love being able to meet so many people, especially being front and center, but it also has its downside sometimes, too. (If you know you know) When I'm not at work, I spend a lot of time serving at my church in our youth group, loving and encouraging high school students right where they're at. Fun facts about me? Married to my husband Adam for almost 5 years (time flies!), only have about 38 plant children (only - but who's counting!?), I'm a HUGE coffee enthusiast (I love me a good espresso shot and making latte art!), enneagram 2w3 through and through (look it up - it's me in a nutshell!), extrovert (where are my people!?), singer, water coloring (wannabe) artist and getting outdoors in the beautiful PNW are just a few of my passions and things which fill my time outside of work!

Other services we provide are packing, unpacking, senior downsizing, Christmas decorating, Digital Organization and Interior Design Services.

My favorite part of being a small business is two things.

1. The freedom of a flexible schedule. Work when I need to, and my team takes care of things when I take off. It's the best of both worlds... I love the freedom I have.

2. I love marketing and the big picture of adding new services. I love being creative with new ways to grow my business. 

I have been using Constant Contact for over 10 years. I have loved everything about their services.

• What’s your name?
• Tell us a little about your small business or nonprofit and what you do there.
• What is your favorite part about working for a small business or nonprofit organization?
• What are you passionate about?

My name is Fern Remedi-Brown.  Our nonprofit is Sowing Opportunities, Inc.  We didn't set out to create a nonprofit organization.  In 2011 our then 6-year-old daughter, who was adopted from Guatemala, asked to meet her biological mother.  We located her in 2015 and learned that the entire village, which is in an extremely remote indigenous region, was destitute and their land was completely unfarmable due to its rocky soil and mountainous terrain.   We decided to help the entire village.  They now have a 600,000 gallon capacity water tank and infrastructure, lacking filtration and the funds to power it, so that is one of our projects.  We delivered 6½ tons of groceries to the entire village of 350 families in 2021, during the Covid-19 pandemic.  We currently have an agricultural project that allows people to grow native vegetables in greenhouses at their homes and corn in black plastic bags so that they are now food-secure.  And, we have moved now to a 2nd village where the women are caring for their children alone because most of their husbands have traveled to try to make it to the U.S.  They are not only grateful, they are incredible workers, working together, because they are deeply motivated to feed their children.  Having food security helps Central Americans to stay in their communities because their hunger is addressed and they have hope for their futures.

I do everything here in the U.S. - I serve as executive director, do all the planning, operations, communications and marketing, and sale of fair trade Guatemalan handicrafts.  We have a team in Guatemala - a project manager and an agricultural engineer.

My favorite part is that I know I am making a difference in the world in a deeply impactful and long-lasting way, creating economic and racial justice on a global scale.

I am passionate about social justice, and also helping to create a path for biological families to stay together and adopted children to know their origins.

Hi, we are JASMYN, a nonprofit LGBTQ+ youth center in Florida. We are welcoming a new member of our team who will be engaged with this platform soon, but Constant Contact has been a partner for our constituent communications for a long time. We talk with donors, event participants, community partners, sponsors and Board here. Recently we were able to create a  Legacy Giving program and using this service to keep them close is very important- they did a survey, receive updates on our programs and get invites to exclusive educational opportunities just for them through Constant Contact.
