My clients will tell you that the most important deliverables are the intangible ones: courage, confidence, clarity, and know-how. This is what a few of them have to say.
While I was the Director of Development for San Isabel Land Protection Trust we hired David to conduct a development audit. The process and plan that he delivered were well organized and executed. He provided a road map that we could follow and at the same time helped us raise more money. In fact, he encouraged us to launch a $1000 giving club. In our first year we raised $80,000 in 8 months. And that is no small thing for a land trust in rural Colorado in a county with a population of less than 4000 people! Thanks David for your vision and encouragement. You are a great asset to the land trust community

I wanted to take a quick moment and thank you for your workshop at River Rally this past week. I was the one who, prior to the Rally, was so excited about a particular workshop beginning at halftime of your workshop, but couldn’t tear myself away once you started. I would have easily sat for several more hours to hear more. Your workshop is CHOCK FULL of information, sure, but your ability to discuss and command our attention, even at the bitter end of a very long and knowledge-filled conference, was fantastic. Thank you again for your time and knowledge! Looking forward to receiving the First Thing Tuesdays!

The event sponsorship article, especially, hit home for me. (It) led me to find your resources page, which I did not hesitate to share with the rest of our board. So much good stuff there! And yes, I attended a fundraising workshop you held at a CLCC conference a couple of years ago and, while I don’t remember exactly when it was, I can tell you the material was both memorable and inspiring. So thank you for your good work in the land trust community and thank you for making such good information readily available on your web site. It is so helpful to a small group like ours!
