To help you get to know the people of nonprofit Cleveland, check out our special feature: YNPN Cleveland’s Q and A.
We're asking nonprofit leaders in Northeast Ohio to tell us a little about the best parts of their jobs and their favorite parts of Cleveland. February’s Q and A was with Alison LaRosa Montez , associate managing director for The Cleveland Play House.
Below is a little bit about Alison, including her answer to the question “What should young nonprofit professionals know about the field?” To see the full Q and A, visit http://ynpncleqanda.blogspot.com/ You'll find lots of other interesting nonprofit news there, too!
Have an idea for a question or know of someone who would be great to profile? E-mail Rachel Abbey, YNPN Cleveland's online ambassador, at new2nonprofitCLE [at] gmail.com.

Case in point: our list of 18; we just couldn't cut it down to 10!).
