The quality of the presentations and willingness of
the presenters to serve us were outstanding. Fundraising
has long been a challenge to us and FAVACA, through
the efforts of CoreStrategies, has bridged that gap.
We now see the way forward in this area.

Thanks a million.

Wow Terrie...thanks for such good advice,
I'll follow up with your referrals and advise
you of the outcome. I sure hope to meet
with you in the near future to pick your
brain some more...your counsel is invaluable.

CoreStrategies was pivotal in helping the Humane
Society of Vero Beach and Indian River County
critique its organization, which had grown exponentially
in size and complexity. The assignment was sensitive
because it involved years of tradition, strong willed and
entrenched attitudes and a sense of entitlement by many
people involved with the organization. One of the significant
contributions that CoreStrategies brought to the project was
the insistence to reach deep into the organization to get |
to the meat of the issues and flush out responses that
clearly helped identify issues of concern.

The roadmap of how to position the organization from its
current state to one prepared to deal with new challenges
was only part of the assignment. Of equal importance was
the design and implementation of programs to reach our goals.
CoreStrategies helped the governance committee structure a
path to identify and reduce issues into a clear, digestible and
actionable recommendation for change. The final result was a
series of recommended changes, uniquely molded to our needs
and wants, which was presented to the Board for review and adoption.

CoreStrategies did not walk away from the assignment when
it was approved by the Board … critical to the success of this
major effort is the practical implementation of the changes,
which is underway with CoreStrategies on board to assist.

The three principals of CoreStrategies, Inc.
can best be described as a Trident of expertise
on nonprofit matters. Individually they are
incredible thinkers; collectively they are experienced
professionals who not only contribute to the discussion,
but nearly always have the best answers to the most
complex organizational situations.  If I or someone
on the staff had a problem or a new idea, it was very
natural to bounce them off one of the prongs. They
have an uncanny ability to trouble shoot and produce
a thoughtful and appropriate solution that is tailored to 
our organization.  I endorse the work of CoreStrategies,
they are a nonprofit professional's - professional.

On behalf of FAVACA I would like to thank you
very much for dedicating your time and expertise
to the people of Haiti. I was so impressed with
how great all of you were and how you were
able to engage all of the students along with
the staff and advisors. I know they are very
grateful for you all coming down and teaching
them, which I think was very evident on the last
day of training when they made their
presentations to you.

"This was a thought provoking
experience for board and staff.
You really assisted the organization

  Lake Worth West Resident Planning Group, Inc.

Your presentation was right on target,
infusing new energy into our group. We

Please use me as a reference to others.
I'm hopeful we will be using your
services in the future.

Terrie Temkin’s knowledge of effective governance
and her ability to adapt the presentation to diverse
groups made our 2006 workshop series for library
boards and Friends of Library groups a success
across Florida. Participant evaluations indicated
appreciation for her practical tips and dynamic style.

[Gail], you were always more concerned
with the goal of assisting us through the process
rather than what you were getting out of it….
your commitment to us extended far
beyond what you earned as a consultant.”
