What People Are Saying

“We worked with Alex Panagotacos over a couple of months this year to support our nonprofit organization with retreat facilitation for board and staff and strategic planning. She was fantastic to work with! Alex was responsive and tailored the work to the specific needs of our organization. She was creative and brought humanity and humor to the process. Sometimes strategic planning can feel burdensome, but the process has felt energizing and added value to our organization and our work. I'd highly recommend other organization to work with Alex - and in fact, we'll be doing some further work with her through the end of the year on an additional contract.”

— Jennifer Quiroz, Financial Empowerment Network Executive Director
