"Sandy is a consummate Development Professional. As the CEO of a local nonprofit, I struggled to get an annual gala off the ground. I hired Sandy to help us. To mine and the Board’s amazement not only did she grow our gala from a $90,000 net in one year to an almost $250,000 net the next, but she helped do it in a way that also jumped started a major gift initiative literally at the same time! Sandy was with us for the long haul. She took the time to get to know us as an organization, but more importantly, as people. She got to know our staff, the Board and our donors intimately. Sandy isn’t a consultant who comes in, tells you what to do and then disappears. She becomes part of the team, opening doors to donors, landing gifts and helping coach the staff and board along. We were so pleased, I hired her to help us plan and conduct our capital campaign. Sandy did everything from conduct the feasibility study to plan the campaign and design the materials. Ten years later, I wouldn’t use anyone else!"

"Sandy led us in a leadership retreat for strategic planning. Our foundation and
it’s philanthropic mission were at a crossroads, in need of focus and direction to
chart a course for its future. With her vision and experience, we were able to
see the core value and benefits of the assets we had created and strategize their
deployment going forward. She also managed the CEO recruitment and interview
process. Three days with Sandy on this retreat were some of the most intense,
productive and informative days I’ve ever experienced. I recommend her
highly for her professionalism, intellect and experience."
