Make it so there are fewer transitions! It seems like people move around A LOT.
No changes.
What part of charity: water's business is growing fastest? What part is having difficulties?
Our Well/WPS projects are moving along nicely. I think we keep crushing our goals, but don't quote me! I also think our BizDev team is not entirely up to speed; a lot of them come from B2B marketing firms (like Refinery29, etc.).
We raise money very well and quickly, but each year it gets harder to surpass the goal from the previous year. I would say that’s where we currently struggle.

Decent benefits!
