“Allison is skilled, resourced, thoughtful and kind. I include kind because her approach reminds you of the positive impact that a caring individual has in the world of non-profit development.

My first hire for development manager lasted for just one year. I didn’t want to get caught in a revolving door for such an important position so I worked with Allison to help me get it right. She not only supported me in securing a great person for the role; she also helped me understand what I needed by demonstrating exactly how that person should support me, the board and staff. “
— Arshele Stevens, former CEO, Girls Inc. of Chicago
