The results speak for themselves."

As the CEO of a not-for-profit organization that serves people who have developmental disabilities, my primary focus is on providing world class quality services. Our customers deserve nothing less.

Our leadership team has worked with John Mathers from Grinnell Scott & Associates, Inc. since 2002. At that time we had just been awarded Silver Certification from the Empire State Advantage – Excellence in the Workplace, a Baldridge criteria-based program sponsored by New York State. Our goal was to obtain gold level certification, which required enhancing our leadership skills and teamwork throughout the organization. That level was achieved in 2005.

Mr. Mathers provided us with excellent guidance and support. With his assistance we implemented work team development that has strengthened our organization in many significant ways. Our team leaders’ skills have improved drastically, resulting in better services for our customers and significantly lower associate turnover.

Mr. Mathers also assisted us with developing our Board of Directors team as we embarked on our first ever-capital campaign. The results have been impressive as we raised 40% of our goal in the first year of a four-year campaign.

I recommend Grinnell Scott & Associates, Inc. with the highest confidence in their skills to assist bringing your organization to a new level of excellence.
