The National Council on Aging helps older people remain healthy and
independent, find jobs, increase access to benefits programs, and discover
meaningful ways to continue contributing to society. "We launched the
MyRespectability.org continuous learning community to increase the
effectiveness of our partner network and committees. Based upon the success
of that community, we decided to leverage GoLightly as our internal employee
community and plan on launching several more over the next few months. The
response has been overwhelmingly positive as we continue to engage our
constituents, employees and partners throughout the country." Stuart Spector,
Senior Vice President, NCOA.
The Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation serves thousands of families

support," says Nanci Schiman, CABF.
Other healthcare organizations that have chosen GoLightly include the
American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
(AAIDD -- the professional association run by and for professionals who
support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities), and St.
