I consider Deb a mentor, a muse  and a trusted advisor. She is a deep thinker and a creative, expressive person who is always excited about learning. I had the privilege of working with Deb during a week-long training with the International Association for Public Participation. Since then whenever I am mentally stuck or need a fresh perspective and insight, I call Deb and inevitably come away invigorated and better equipped for the challenge ahead.“

Deb is a visionary leader with the creativity, determination, and know-how to achieve breakthrough results. When Deb asks me to work on a project, I’ve learned to say “yes!” and ask “what?” later. Deb is a keen judge of strengths and knows how to build and lead high functioning teams that achieve results that matter. She is a rare breed of leader who is motivated by a passionate desire to serve the greater good and to do so in a way that benefits all involved. I give Deb my highest recommendation.
