Testimonials

"I’ve known Alexis for over 10 years, which is one reason why, when I took on a position as Executive Director at an organization that had considerable work to do building and implementing new systems, I knew that Alexis would be the perfect choice. She has a rare combination of direct service and management experience that makes her uniquely suited to provide organizations with practical and implementable solutions to whatever challenges they might be facing. She has an incredible work ethic and is collaborative, thoughtful, and thorough in all she does."

"Being an exclusively volunteer-run not for profit, Friends of Columbus needed guidance in how to put structure to our organization. Alexis was able to come in and assess the needs of our organization and help us implement a mission, vision and bylaws (among other things) and we are now able to work more efficiently. Alexis' expertise has also helped us with fundraising, goal setting and community engagement and she was present to support us every step of the way. "
