“Sally Coates provided a day long retreat for our Board to strategize about Board recruitment and fundraising needs. Not only was the day packed with great information, our Board ended the retreat excited to work towards some new goals that we had set during the day together. Sally spoke the ‘non-profit language’ in a way that was easily accessible and left folks feeling like some previously daunting tasks were within reach. We are thrilled with how the retreat went, and we are looking forward to working with her again to help with some larger projects in the future. ”
— Emily Hyberg, Exeutive Director, The Belfry
