"Her insights cut through the clutter."

"Joan has been a steadfast and invaluable mentor to me as a young development professional. Simply put: she just gets it. Her insights cut through the clutter that can often overwhelm a fundraiser's perspective, and by doing so she gets to the core issues and develops holistic, inventive solutions. I wholeheartedly believe Joan has knowledge to share with development professionals across any industry and any career stage."
