Courtney is a creative and strategic thinker, as well as a sharp-eyed, honest, and collaborative teammate. And, truth be told, she is a ton of fun with a fantastic sense of humor.”

– Marianne Hughes, founding executive director of the Interaction Institute for Social Change

I had the great pleasure of working with Courtney for five years and from the first day to the last she was a careful and attentive listener that was always alert to ideas and challenges that needed to be surfaced to advance an underlying set of values or a vision. Always creative and insightful, Courtney was a fantastic partner, team player, and facilitative leader.”

–Tom Kelly, Chief Sustainability Officer at UNH

Courtney is the ideal thought partner. Her extensive knowledge and experience in the philanthropic and nonprofit sectors uniquely position her to navigate and succeed in complex social change efforts. She can take a big, amorphous idea and shape it into something clear, meaningful, and actionable. But most importantly, she is kind, loyal, and a person of true integrity.”

–Deborah Grodzicki, Associate Director, Innovation Network

Courtney has a special gift for bringing together and holding together collaborative processes. I call it her “special sauce,” and I have watched with admiration how she has used this gift to make incredible impact on the regional food system in New England. I highly recommend Courtney to any funder seeking expert, empathetic help to design and facilitate new initiatives and collaborative efforts”
