What some of our clients had to say about their consulting experience:
"Our relationship with the GCN has been nothing short of transformative for our organization … Our consultant led us through a strategic plan last year, getting a very diverse Board of Directors to find compromises and also to keep us on track to finish in a timely manner."
Christina Lennon, Executive Director - Georgia Lions Lighthouse
"The process and the product have put us in a better position to maneuver through this difficult time, to sharpen our focus, and manage our resources better … GCN's consultant was an incredible resource; an educator, facilitator, and enabler. He was able to listen to our questions and concerns, harvest our ideas and vision, build on our strengths and rich history, and encourage us to be bold in our thinking and actions."
Helen Cunningham, Executive Director - Buckhead Christian Ministries
"Our consultant generated a very necessary organizational assessment, resulting in a greater fiscal commitment from our Board and staff to meet the challenges of the current economic downturn."
Linda Summerlin, Executive Director - Arts Clayton
"I would not hesitate to recommend the Georgia Center for Nonprofit's consulting services to other not-for-profit community-building organizations that are interested in seizing opportunities to increase their capacity to make a difference."
Terry Blum, Board Member - Ferst Foundation for Childhood Literacy and Director, Leadership and Entrepreneurship - Georgia Tech University
"The organizational assessment ignited six months of board/staff strategic planning that culminated in new and better processes for us to conduct our work."
Nancy Kennedy, Executive Director - Northwest Georgia Healthcare Partnership
"GCN consultant came with a different perspective than a lot of other consultants because she had worked with so many nonprofits. We get so caught up in the day-to-day ... Our staff were thrilled to be able to reflect on their good work and how they can do even more in the future as resources increase."
Rev. Nancy Yancey, CEO - Rainbow Village
"GCN's consultant truly wants us to succeed. We could not have made it this far without her … The planning process surfaced many questions that had awaited attention for a long time. Some tensions inevitably arose from this process, but the consultant handled with calm and competence [and] the new strategic plan is building the enthusiasm of board, staff and volunteers."
Anne Hicks, Board Chair - Dunwoody Nature Center
