Bio
Nicole Cavender
I had the opportunity to work with Judith as my mentor through Menttium. She is an excellent listener, leads through humility, and has always shown genuine interest in my progress and success. She has consistently given me constructive feedback and advise which I have been able to apply to my own situations. I really feel fortunate to have been able to work with someone so committed to my own leadership development. She is a genuine, self aware leader that many of us aspire to be like.
Maria Socorro Pesqueira
I have had the privilege of working with Judith in her role of Executive Director of Illinois Partners for Human Services. As the Chair of the Board, I witnessed first-hand her hard work ethic and her ability to bring together the right people for complex problem-solving. She is a champion for social justice and for building equity amongst the most vulnerable.

CLE is about access and support. College students, who have special needs for assistance in maintaining the routine of college life, receive support: content-specific tutoring, life skills development and opportunities for socializing. There are CLE sites in Florida (since 1989), Colorado and Texas and I will be opening and leading a new CLE site in Chicago for fall 2007. CLE is about access and support.
