“For me, SVP has been a great opportunity to stay challenged, and to use transferrable skills from the business world to help our Tucson community. And to be able to do this with the amazing cadre of SVP partners is incredibly stimulating. Every new project is another chance to work with new partners and help them realize their potential with SVP work—and maybe next time that new partner will be you!”
