"Kathy
DeLaura, Partners in Change Managing Director, guided
the FreestoreFoodbank with the development of its
strategic plan. The
process was thorough and organized and carried off
on time and on budget. The product was impeccable. Her
leadership to help us to see and decide on the tough
issues was thoughtful and on target. Participants
(board and staff) felt that their time investment was
valuable. All this for what we thought was a
very reasonable price. Kathy will return to the
agency on a six-month basis to review the plan and
its implementation. We are very satisfied customers."

person I've ever worked with."

“Strategic Planning helped us focus on the critical areas
for our organization and become more customer focused.
The program had a huge ROI. In our first such effort,
we reached our fundraising goal, and, at the same time,
saved more than $500,000 through process improvements.”
-Susan Wilkinson, Ed.D.,
Associate Director of Hoxworth Blood Center
“The process
facilitated by Partners in Change involved the board
and staff working side by side to review the vision,
mission and programs currently offered by the agency.
Our plan is an ambitious one, but with the clear and
measurable objectives identified and the demonstrated
commitment from board and staff, can be achieved. The
strategic planning process was an awesome learning experience,
which has given everyone at Family Nurturing Center
the direction and motivation to achieve its mission
of ending the cycle of child abuse.”
