What clients say about working with Chris:

“Chris has been with us since day one to make sure that I, as the backbone support, and our partners are considering and evaluating how we work together in the same way we consider and evaluate what we are working on. And, it’s worked. Our partners are beginning to think and work differently as individual partners and as members of a coalition—more importantly they understand the value in making these changes to business as usual.”

— Sarah Lowry, Healthy Community Partnership Mahoning Valley

— Ray Hexamer, Stark Economic Development Board

—Lise Levin, York Community Foundation
