What they say about me

I was on the board of a food pantry going through a leadership transition and hired Erin. She was highly competent, thorough, and demonstrates solid leadership skills. That experience was so successful, I recommended her to another board and I know they had a very successful experience with Erin’s tenure. Both of these organizations are now sustainable and highly functioning organizations thanks to Erin’s leadership during some uncertain times.
