What People Say
R. Wilcox,
Board President
Jill provided steady and thoughtful leadership to the Mazamas during a pivotal Executive Director transition period for our organization. She rebuilt trust between the board and staff team and ensured clear, consistent communication that brought stability and alignment during a challenging time. She also fostered a renewed sense of confidence for our board as we hired our new Executive Director.
M. Moore,
Staff Member
We appreciate all you've done. You came in and steered a ship that desperately needed a captain. I appreciate learning from you and hope our paths cross again in the future.
C. Elliot,
(Former) Board Secretary
I was a board member at Sungarden Montessori when Jill graciously and so eloquently took on the role of Interim Head of School. She was just what we needed, in so many ways!
Jill is thoughtful, thorough in her assessment and clear in all communications. I would highly recommend her again, again and again.
As a bonus, our board learned a lot!
