Bridget McDermott-Flood
Executive Director, Incarnate Word Foundation STL
Maria helped us think through an effective strategic planning process – we were moving forward with a lot of enthusiasm and then the pandemic hit and I felt like it was a brick wall. Maria was so great in leading us around that wall to a strategic plan that was right for us in the moment and setting us up for future success.
