Morgan Daigneault of the Aspen Discovery Implementation Team recently commented:

Lisa DaSilva was the contact for this project and she was fantastic to work with during the entire implementation process. She picked up on Aspen Discovery right away and figured out so much on her own with tutorials before we even started training! They have created such a beautiful site already. I'm excited to continue to work with her and Rapid City in the future!"
