"Going through a national search process is a labor of love for any organization. With ongoing support, intentional care, and thoughtful attention to detail, Michele walked us through every element from start to finish. There wasn't one issue, situation, bump in the road, or celebratory moment that Michele wasn't right there to provide her expert insight or cheer the team on. She quickly became a part of the team and we are forever grateful for her many efforts as we selected our new executive director."
