With gratitude for their on-going support and wisdom, I am listing colleagues here that I have worked with or enjoyed their expertise and can testify to their good work with community development, strategic planning, communication, facilitation, or grant writing. There are
others I can recommend in person who only occasionally work outside their organizations.
