Bio
Janice Orlansky, Ed.D.
Paula Cope is a consummate professional who excels in communication skills not only with her clients, but with her staff and with outside consultants. She has the ability to grasp complex systems and organize and present the information in a cogent, informed and interesting way, using multi-media effectively. She treats people with respect and is an excellent listener. I was brought in to review and edit workshop materials that Cope & Associates, Inc. developed, and it became very clear from the start that Paula and her staff were very focused on the task at hand and the materials were not only clear, but also very engaging.
Chester Straub

In both engagements, Paula and her team provided innovative thinking to the design of the efforts, substantial expertise and subject mater knowledge to the community outreach, data collection and analysis, and creativity in the providing recommendations and final reports.
