Testimonials

Scott is a PURE JOY!!! He has transitioned from a volunteer to an Advisory Board Member of OHL. His wisdom and encouragement got us through a tough time in trying to figure out some system changes. His knowledge and expertise allowed us to shift to a better-streamlined accounting system and not overpay for systems and services not need for an org my size and capacity. He transitioned from a stranger to OHL FAMILY. We are happy to have him a part of the team.
