Client testimonials:

“Elizabeth helped us with planning, coordination, and implementation of two significant fundraising events. She worked with me to develop the messaging/story line for the events and also took a leadership role with our volunteers to ensure the events came together beautifully. What makes Elizabeth a valuable resource is her strong initiative, work ethic, and ability to think outside of the box. She is a strategic and creative thinker and also willing to roll up her sleeves and lend support to basic tasks. I strongly recommend Elizabeth for any organization that is looking for a reliable, enthusiastic team player who takes ownership to deliver strong results.”

“Elizabeth was my coach for the Social Venture Partners' Fast Pitch competition - and I won! She was great at helping me distill our nonprofit's message, make the description emotional and succinct, and focus on the most important details.”

“The work of the Seattle-King County Cultural Accessibility Consortium has been so helpful to the Rep and, I know, to many of our colleagues across the cultural community as we all work, in particular, to welcome and serve people with disabilities. And I know there’s so much more we could all do and so many more people we could serve with an even stronger and more robust Consortium advising, supporting, and helping to lead these efforts."
