Here's what we're hearing from some of the thousands of nonprofit leaders we've trained...

• “The best workshop on governance and risk management that I have attended! David presented two difficult subjects and kept the entire Board engaged and interested!” Adrienne Smith, Manager, B.C. 4-H (after 2 day event, February 2010)
• "I just wanted to say thank you for the Risk Management for Non Profits and Charities training you provided recently. In the course of a 21-year career and 13 years of volunteering in the not-for-profit sector, this was the most beneficial one-day training event I can recall, both in terms of quantity of new and usable information and in quality of delivery. Thanks again."
  - Mike Davey, Sergeant, Sault Ste. Marie Police Service and Board Chair of Victim Services Algoma.
• "I am so grateful for the work that you do at your organization. I created a driving policy this year and I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t had the support of your organization.....Thank you! You are making a huge difference through your work."
  -Jill Mercier, Alzheimer Society of Kitchener-Waterloo
• "David Hartley has a very solid understanding of the needs of nonprofits and charities and makes very reasonable suggestions to ensure that we are running our organizations in a way that protects, not just our property, but our reputation and people. He approaches risk management in a way that makes it seem much less intimidating and much more manageable. Additionally, he is a very engaging speaker with lots of excellent real world examples from the field."
  - Christine Oldfield, Executive Director of Volunteer Centre of Guelph/Wellington (Host of workshop on Nov. 12, 2009)
• "I can’t say enough how much I learned at the event ... I have shared the website with many, many people ... We will definitely want to engage with the centre again in the near future! "
  - Sheri Benson, Executive Director, United Way of Saskatoon and Area (Host of our recent 2-day training in Saskatoon)
• "This one-day workshop gave us invaluable information: it gave us the foundation to build upon."
  - Robin Kerr, Executive Director, Victim Services Algoma
• "The workshop was informative, practical and interactive with lots of helpful ideas and a great resource binder. The day also flew by because of your high energy presentation style."
  - Sol Kasimer, former CEO of YMCA Canada, and a leader in the nonprofit sector for over 40 years, attended a recent 1-day workshop in St. Catharines. (Sol is currently Special Advisor to Imagine Canada's CEO)
• "I am very impressed with what your group is pushing out to non profits. Great stuff and presented in a practical way. Great job - keep it up!!"
