STRATEGIC PLANNING
Maria Trabka, Executive Director
Saratoga PLAN
"Conservation Impact helped Saratoga PLAN’s Board identify our most immediate challenges and develop a practical business plan for the next stage of the organization’s maturation. Shelli worked in a very efficient but deep way to understand the context for our work. Even though she has helped hundreds of clients, she has a very personal and respectful approach which manifests into a highly customized business blueprint."
BUSINESS PLANNING

CDC Training Workshop
"Shelli was terrific - her personality, humor, insights & skills made her session personal, enjoyable, & informative. I learned a tremendous amount & she was able to deliver the material in a very accessible way, cutting through the jargon. Greatly appreciated her candor & willingness to help us after the workshop. The time flew by & her presentation style kept us all engaged. I would love to attend a future session with her on facilitation skills. Thanks so much!"
