Marcy Hawley, publisher at Orange Frazer Press and business partner of the Clinton Community Fellows Program:
“The Clinton Community Fellows Program means local businesses can shake themselves out of their operations status quo, get a hypodermic of energy that's only possible when someone under twenty-five is the room, and end up seeing their own business through new eyes. These hand-chosen students are unique in their problem-solving techniques. Do not stand in their way. Do not use the excuse, ‘They'll leave me/us with more work to do.’ Just tell them your problem and watch the synapses start snapping. Listen and learn. They get it."
