While Sarah had worked with other not-for-profit and for-profit companies, she was new to our industry. This was initially a concern for our Executive Team, but I can assure you, it shouldn’t have been. Sarah took the time to not only learn about our company, but our industry overall, and applied that knowledge to our planning meetings. She probed us, with both thought provoking and the tough questions we needed to answer, to drive our Strategic Plan. Her approach to our plan was well thought out. Sarah’s enthusiasm was contagious and kept our Executive Team engaged and excited throughout the entire process. Thanks to Sarah, we now have a working Strategic Plan for our company and a resource for any future business needs. ~Chip Juedes, CEO, Fox World Travel
