Testimonials
"Linda collaboratively and skillfully led Regenerative Agriculture Foundation through our first organizational theory of change strategic planning process. As an intermediary funder, we are accountable to both funder and grantee partners; we knew we needed a planning process that centered accountability and justice. With Linda's collaborative facilitation, we created a concrete container to guide our decisions as we grow toward our organizational vision. Through stakeholder interviews, listening sessions, data analysis, and a co-facilitated retreat, we are grateful to have partner buy-in and cross-organization clarity on our work into the future. I can't recommend Linda enough!"
- Ahna Kruzic, Regenerative Agriculture Foundation

"Linda was instrumental in helping the Women, Food, and Agriculture Network (WFAN) build and publish our strategic plan. Working with both Board and staff, she expertly guided us to envision a hopeful and realistic post-pandemic path forward, grounded in our mission and history. We look forward to working with Linda again soon, and highly recommend her objective but engaging facilitation and strategic planning services!"
- Juliann Salinas, Women, Food, and Agriculture Network
​
"As facilitator and leader of many complex strategic planning processes, Linda brings an incredible range of skills and heartfelt values to her work: compassion and genuine care for everyone "in the room" (whether virtual or in-person); sensitivity to and skill in helping groups navigate personal or organizational power dynamics in ways that build collective commitment to equity and that open space for quieter voices; deep understanding of issues, context and campaign goals (in PAN's case, especially relating to farming, food systems, and racial and gender justice); and an ability to hold both the time-sensitivity of immediate campaign goals as well as a community's larger vision that requires movement-building over time. In doing so, Linda enables groups and individuals to articulate the parameters and boundaries of their work necessary to maintain a sustainable plan for the long haul. Linda's groundedness, wisdom and generous heart and spirit make the opportunity to work with her truly a gift for all involved."
