Testimonials
Linda provides great insight and knowledge to us. We've had repeated sessions on fund-raising, development, and marketing. Great partnership!
The Great Lakes Bay Pride is a joy to work with! Board Director Greg G and and ED Scott and board President Beth are very organized and passionate about their organization. They know their constituents know what services and activities are needed. I assisted in giving feedback to a reimagining of Celebrating Pride at Home, especially the sponsorship program for the Pride Festival and Gala.
