“I was initially concerned with hiring a consultant. Would it be worth the money? I can confirm that it definitely was. Ginny Giles conveyed a lot of information, delivered in concise chunks that were easy to absorb. The structure was clear, logical and effective. Ginny obviously has knowledge and expertise in the non-profit world. But it wasn’t just about the new knowledge. The main benefits came from doing assignments, receiving individual feedback and interacting with Ginny. Ginny also prepared and lead our board retreat. It gave our board members the confidence and knowledge to transition our organization to the next phase.” – Tomilyn Ward, Executive Direct of MAYA Organization
