Throughout my time with Sheila, not only has she strengthened our non-profit strategy with her expertise and knowledge, but she's also been instrumental in my growth as an Executive Director, specifically in areas of relationship building with new donors and overall support with whatever is needed. What's unique about Sheila is that she really cares about making our community a better place and over delivers. I'd recommend Sheila in a heart beat to strengthen your fundraising strategy as a non-profit."
