Heeding the Call

“I would describe NCSS as a hybrid between the civil service and the private sector. It really has the best of both worlds. Passion keeps me going but it’s also the knowledge that I have made a difference and will continue to make a difference, be it directly or indirectly, in the life of someone out there. I’m glad I grabbed the opportunity to join NCSS. I haven’t looked back since!”
