You guys get it. For me that's what's important. CRE doesn't come with its own agenda.

--Gwen Carter, Life Force: Women Fighting AIDS, Inc.

Some can do consulting and sort of be there on the side, not completely engaged. With CRE - it's not just someone doing a job.

--Jill Eisenhard, Red Hook Initiative

You don't come with an agenda; you come with, "How can I help?" You come with, "Let us understand what you're doing, what you perceive to be your problems."

--Harvey Lawrence, COO, Brownsville Multi-Service Family Health Center

I think CRE is the most rigorous consulting group I've ever dealt with, including initial contracting, tracking how much time is spent, getting funding from 3rd parties. I've had other consultants that are good at business - but for a big shop, CRE really has this handled.

--Ann Jacobs, Executive Director, Women's Prison Association

You did a great job of taking on a task that was akin to herding cats.

--Dr. Betina Jean-Louis, Dwa Fanm

One of the things I appreciate about CRE is that it understands about organizational capacity. CRE begins with what this organization has, and what it practically can do.

--J. Maya Iwata, Executive Director
Sisterhood Mobilized for AIDS/HIV Research & Treatment (SMART)

Your ability to listen, reflect then speak precisely and incisively to the issue at hand truly saved the day (and personally saved me from opening another bottle of Excedrin).

--Patrick O'Connell, Board, New York City Mission Society

We realized what we had to do today to pursue the longer-term goals.

--Mel Swanson, Junior Tennis Clinic
