"BoardMatch has connected us with other people in the city who have the same passions and desires as our organization. With their help, our board of directors will be strengthened. It was the best blind date ever!" said Deborah Morton, Executive Director with FEAT of Louisville. FEAT's mission is easing the autism journey through a community network created for families by families by providing ongoing support, education, programs and resources. With 30 individuals who matched with them, 8 have already expressed direct interest and they are days away from getting their first board member on their board from the process.
