Williamson College of the Trades engaged CALICO to perform an independent evaluation of our entire Advancement Office including personnel, structure, strengths, weaknesses, immediate and future needs, etc. We were so impressed that we subsequently engaged them to assist us in our search for a new SR. VP of Advancement, and most recently, to lead our Strategic Planning process which culminated with an offsite Trustee retreat and adoption of a new visionary and bold Strategic Plan. Jill and Tom were the driving force behind getting the Trustees, President, senior Staff and faculty energized and all pulling in the same direction.

They also acted as the facilitators for the offsite retreat.

We couldn’t be more pleased with them and would recommend them highly to any organization or institution in need of assistance from seasoned professionals with an extremely wide breadth of experience. We will certainly continue to utilize Calico on future assignments as we move forward.

CALICO has been an invaluable asset to us as we grow from a relatively small, family-funded organization to a national presence managing multiple funding sources. In particular, Jill Marsteller’s wisdom, experience and vast network of contacts are critical resources; without her, we’d be making a lot of costly mistakes and limiting, rather than growing, our capacity to achieve our mission.
