| Testimonials |
“It was a superb training, the kind of information that really helps grass-roots organizations like ours. This program will help give us the experience and knowledge we need to be really effective.” – Mohamoud Mohamed, SASSO
“A few months ago the words "goals", "priorities", "action step", "owner", "allocated budget" and even "timeline" were strange if not actually foreign - well on Sunday they worked through their five priorities with all the appropriate format (thanks to your charts) and the verbiage was flying around like they did this every day. They listened to each other, very little off-topic discussion and when that did happen several of the others just said so and they were back on track." – Janet Moran, Mentor for Mounted Eagles
"Their "Benchmarking" process is a solid way to get your board talking the same language and headed in the same direction. And the IF's workshops and conferences are always high quality events." – Marty Harding, Communities Investing in Families
"Our board was energized and strengthened by the (strategic planning) experience, and we thank you for this tremendous opportunity. I will be sharing your ideas about board restructuring and redeployment according to interests and time available for specific tasks of board work. Many thanks!" – Brenda Hoffman, Rum River Health Services
