Debra conducted an organizational assessment for our non-profit in January 2012. Our Board of Directors was highly impressed with the methodology and execution of her assessment as well as the thoroughness of her final report. We have implemented several of her recommendations which have enabled us to better organize priorities and utilize resources more effectively. We found Debra to be very well organized, efficient, straight forward and very professional. She has energized us to move our organization to the next level and we are seeing results. We highly recommend Debra Wolfe.
