Part of the process was for her to conduct interviews and focus groups with our stakeholders and staff and facilitate a five hour strategic planning retreat with our Board of Directors and Executive Team, as well as deliver the Strategic Plan all within two months. Did she deliver? Not only did she deliver, she exceeded our expectations. During the process she met weekly with myself and our Executive Director keeping us updated on her process. She responded timely to all of our requests and was always there to answer any questions we had. At the strategic planning retreat Casey came in and engaged our Board Members and Executive Team through interactive dialog and activities. The feedback from the strategic planning retreat was exceptionally positive — she wowed everyone. It was a pleasure to work with Casey and we will definitely reach out to her again for any consulting needs we might have."

She kept our Steering Committee focused and each meeting was purposeful and moved us toward the outcome.
