Ms. Lima is a motivated, hard-working, and intelligent Executive Director. A broad-minded Executive, who welcomes change and motivates others to do better every day. Her exceptional set of leadership skills, ingenuity, and integrity made my time working for her a delight.

I've worked with Julie and her development teams regularly over the last 10 years as a donor, volunteer, and board member. Her strongest skill set is the ability to manage people, structure campaigns, and deliver on ambitious fund raising goals with limited resources. She builds strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders and is able to add a personal touch to important professional settings. I highly recommend Julie for any non-profit organization that needs this kind of expertise.
