Compelling Facilitation

"The focus to get it done."
October 2024
Linda worked with us for many years marketing the County: rebranding, new logo development and website to strategic communications for increasing recycling participation. She always included everyone. She built consensus and brought focus needed to get the job done and done well. Linda helped us secure a broad range of grants, including a Mega Initiative of restoring the Grass Lake Watershed and neighboring Lake Wakanda. Her work on this particular project required bringing multiple stakeholders together to agree, and writing a compelling and competitive grant application.
