Paul stated to me, “I am so impressed with On Our Own, from the type of leadership and support provided, including business consulting for the regional consumer organizations right up to the fantastic annual conference. This has been my best week of work since joining the NOC in 2005. Maryland is for sure a leader in the consumer movement in our country. By bringing in the NOC, consumers will have a fast, easy to use tool for so many aspects of our lived experience. With the internet, we gain success and power over our illnesses and strength in advocacy goals. I look forward to many, many interactions with the folks in Maryland.”
