“Although I know effective governance can take years to master, Jenny did an excellent job of tailoring information to deepen our collective definition of the board in just one night. Each member was able to lock on to a piece of the training that resonated with them individually. The increased understanding of roles and responsibilities will enhance overall contributions to the organization and the community we serve. Nonprofits at any life cycle stage would benefit from a customized [training] with Jenny.”
