Testimonials

Allison did a plan of action for the board meeting for Buy Local Kalamazoo and it was well planned and thought out ahead of time, it was interactive, and a clear and concise call to action for our board was the result. Allison is a thoughtful planner and she has great thought provoking questions. I would highly recommend Allison for your team, organization or business planning needs.

Allison is wonderful to work with! Her experience with of agencies in the greater Kalamazoo area, as well as her knowledge of how the system works, has continued to guide and support us as we maneuver the challenges that come with adult transition services. Her guidance through our PATH meetings with family and support personnel is excellent. The result is a colorful, fun visual of our son's current activities and strengths, as well as a roadmap of future goals. We now have two PATH maps and my son thoroughly enjoys revisiting them. It gives him, and us, a visual journey to help keep us on-track and moving forward.
