Joy Edwards

I work with a faith-based software company that's been around for 21 years. I was one of the key people when they started out, and we began with just the owner, the founder, and two other people. Within the 8 or 9 years I've been with the company, we've grown to over 20 staff members. We provide software for mental health providers to document and monitor their progress with their clients. We provide screening tools, billing, and support. My role is that I'm basically the face of the company - people come directly to me to get a demo of the software. I make recommendations depending on the size of their company and what tools they're needing. I offer basic support on how to run their business more efficiently, based on the information I've gathered over the years from other providers. We have an annual summit that we do for our clients where we do some networking with them, allow them to network within each other and their organizations, and we highlight some of the top organizations that are doing great things in the community. I love hearing their stories and how they're impacting their own areas or communities. It's such an underserved industry and overlooked, and I feel like we do a very small part of acknowledging who they are and how important they are to us and to the community.
