  1. Andrew Mays Andrew Mays Hi there, I came across your rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities and thought I'd reach out. For context, I've been working closely with nonprofit organizations to address a challenge I hear about constantly - the overwhelming amount of time spent doing admin tasks on paper and excel. Between case documentation, billing reconciliation, scheduling coordination, and compliance reporting, staff often spend more hours on paperwork than with the individuals they serve. We've developed a comprehensive software platform specifically for nonprofit organizations that automates these administrative burdens. For example, our partner agencies have reduced documentation time by 70% while improving accuracy, automated their billing processes to capture more revenue, and streamlined compliance reporting from days to hours. Most agencies we speak with already have a solution in place, but I'd love to show you how other nonprofit organizations in the state are getting off paper and excel. The hardest part of my job is finding the right person to speak with. Do mind directing me to the right person that oversees this area of VNAH. I'd appreciate it! All the best, Andrew Friday, September 26, 2025
