Background Information (VFC)We work with a wide-variety of organizations, educational institutions, and businesses whose staff or members interact from multiple geographic locations.
They may be dispersed within a state or province, or throughout the world.
They need a way to meet online that uses the right technology so they can conduct business in a way that is both productive and motivating.
