skill for bringing out the best in people. You can find him running from meetings to events to outreach.  Ben is that person you
can go to when you are in need of a sounding board, testing referrals and/or a space to vent.

Kevin O'Rourke, Program Coordinator for Monitoring and Evaluation of Mpowerment (MEM):

Think of him like Papa Smurf.  He's a little gray around the edges, but still just a cub scout at heart.  You will find Kevin helping
to gather your thoughts and feelings about ITM so that we can continually improve the great programming and the activities
you come to expect.  Kevin is that person to go to for information about Evaluation.

and Mixers.
