WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START YOUR BUSINESS? I was inspired when I realized I wanted to do more than just collect a paycheck. I want to leave a legacy and positively impact people’s lives by giving foreign exchange students the opportunity to study in the United States. WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT DOING BUSINESS LOCALLY? I have met so many generous families in our region who have willingly opened their homes to host a student for 10 months. Bonnie y Witkosk WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO JOIN THE CHAMBER? I decided to join the Chamber to share my passion for my chosen career with other members. I felt that joining the Chamber was the best way to meet more residents of Lackawanna County, which will help me to continue placing students with host families in Lackawanna County and surrounding areas.
