The Proof is in the Partnerships

Because the talent we manage and our client organizations should get the final word.
Lynda Patterson and her team did a great job with a tough board at our recent strategic planning session. The Board requested to change the agenda at the last minute and without batting an eye Lynda took control and guided us through the exercise using her well-thought-out process. It worked, and at the end of the session we were all very pleased with what we came up with. We would highly recommend her.
Board Chairman
National philanthropic organization
Lynda very much shares the vision our Board has for this organization. Indeed, she has led the charge in many ways we could not, acting with energy and passion in everything she does. We tackled several new initiatives this year that would not have been possible without Lynda’s forward-thinking and experimental vision for how associations can and should work.
