With as much as we are currently doing for our community, the word is not getting out fast enough. Our goal is to help people get where they need to go when they need to go there, but not enough people know about what we offer. Is there a way you could help DRMAC and allow us an area to talk more about what DRMAC does other than the travel training that you know about?
