"Ivy Buchan did an outstanding job helping our organization develop our Strategic Plan and brought our Board of Directors together in a collaborative way so that we were all excited to focus and participate. Additionally, she led Board Governance discussions and helped us define our committee structure. She offered fresh and objective perspectives and suggested actionable next steps and recommendations. She is professional and has a wealth of knowledge and experience in nonprofit management, fundraising, strategic planning, and more. We highly recommend Ivy to other nonprofit leaders and would welcome the opportunity to work with her again.”
