professionally and personally. She helped me balance my responsibilities
between KPost Company and National Roofing Partners. Her assistance in hiring
my assistant and redefining the job duties to help me attain our desired goals
has changed my life. Her insight into employee generational differences has
helped us reach new heights within our company. I wholeheartedly recommend
Petey's services. Be prepared to be challenged beyond your comfort zone, pushed

to their board of directors and donors. The return-on-investment for
non-profits is the long-term impact by helping non-profits work more with less,
yet continue to better serve the community.
