“As an attorney, I have spent my entire career counting my life in tenths of billable hours. To say that I have no patience for wasted time, nor do I suffer endless meetings well is an understatement. I was characteristically pessimistic, cynical and skeptical when told of a of a two-day Strategic Planning Meeting with “Funding for Good” for the Board I serve on. I confess that I even planned my early exit in advance so I could do something productive, like mow my grass.
I was blown away by how engaging, enthusiastic and encouraging our two-day session was. My regret was that we didn’t have a third day. Mandy and Marie were exceptional in leading our Board to develop our Agency Strategic Plan that was intentional, specific and attainable. Five Stars for “Funding for Good, Inc.” Thanks so much for your leadership!”

“I reluctantly agreed to attend a board training conference when asked by the ED of the Sheridan Foster Parent Exchange with little hope for intellectual gain. By page two of the Building Positive Board Dynamics booklet, I was writing notes. I had fallen in love with the perky and pointed delivery of Mandy and Marie.
They were serving up mouthfuls of knowledge to my embarrassingly deficient understanding of board function and my role as a board member. I liked it so much I attended a VIP training two days later.”
