“Nonprofits can get stuck in a rut and end up spinning their wheels instead of thinking strategically and acting purposefully. Having served on numerous nonprofit boards with Wendy over the years, we have all seen first-hand how her experience and approach to governance has benefited those organizations. Her no-nonsense, data-driven approach to problem solving is both refreshing and effective. We would not hesitate to recommend Wendy to help take your organization to the next level.”

“I have worked with Wendy for over twenty years!  She is articulate, enthusiastic, honest, caring, and a LEADER!  We worked at Clarke University together and from the moment I met Wendy, I knew she had her act together!  She developed and provided leadership for the Clarke LEAD Center working with local businesses in developing educational programs to meet the demands of local businesses.  I have also worked with Wendy in her various leadership roles at NICC developing programs and curriculum to meet the needs of businesses and in working with the NICC Board and Leadership Team to develop and implement plans to meet the goals of the College.  Wendy is a doer not just a dreamer.  She would be an asset to any organization or business!  I look forward to the success she will have with her new endeavor…Focus Forward!”
