This is a sampling of what our clients have said about us. Please also review a partial list of our clients.

Klare Shaw, The Barr Foundation:

“Julia brings a rare mix of systems thinking, knowledge of the field and a real understanding of of community-based organizations.  She cares deeply about Boston’s communities and she enriches them through her work.“

Celina Miranda, BNY Mellon, (formerly of the Hyams Foundation):

“Tom came into a complex community-based project that had fallen behind schedule. He was able to work effectively with a diverse group of people and got us back on track in just a few months. He helped us craft a plan, made sure we were all on board with it, and then helped us keep to it. The program we planned has grown steadily and is entering its third successful year.”

Roseanne Flouty, The Institute of Contemporary Art:

“Julia helped us design useful evaluations with more than just numbers. She helped us get a clear idea of how our programs worked and how we can continue to make them better.”

Steve Carson,  OpenCourseWare Consortium:

”Tom helped us work within our budget to design a strategic planning retreat with a multi-cultural group from nine different countries across five continents. He got up to speed on a complex set of issues quickly, got everyone together on the same page and helped us pull off a challenging agenda. And, most importantly, we reached a clear consensus on a number of key topics.”

David Howse, Boston Childrens’ Chorus:

Julia not only designed and carried out practical evaluations of our programs, but also taught us how we can do it ourselves, so we can continue to learn about and expand our programs independently.”

Stephen M. Pratt, MYTURN, Inc (formerly of Boston After School & Beyond):

“Tom & Julia bring a wealth of experience and intelligence to their work. They have a unique combination of skills, flexibility, creativity and sensitivity to the challenges of working with coalitions, nonprofits and government agencies. Without both of their skills, BOSTONavigator would never be where it is today.”
