Background on you and/or your business:

Cheryl J. Weissman established CJW Consulting & Services, Inc. (CJW) in 1993 to help nonprofit organizations make the best use of their software resources. Cheryl's 20+ years of experience with fundraising, the not-for-profit community, and its associated software allow CJW to provide high-quality consulting and services at prices designed to fit your budget.

Cheryl has been working for and with nonprofits since 1984. As a fundraiser from 1984 to 1987, Cheryl researched, selected and implemented the first fundraising software product used by the organization. From 1987 to 1993, Cheryl worked as an account manager for a national company which sold fundraising software.

In 1993, believing she could more efficiently serve the nonprofit community without the overhead of a larger company, Cheryl created what began as CJW Enterprises and was renamed CJW Consulting & Services, Inc. upon its 1999 incorporation.

Testimonials and/or references:

"Cheryl is the most ethical and honest business person it has been my pleasure to ever know. Not only are her technical skills of the highest possible level, but her work ethic and attention to detail are second to none. You would do yourself and your organization a great service by utilizing Cheryl and CJW Consulting." -- Larry Muffett, Lutheran Life Communities

"Cheryl is a detail oriented consultant who accomplishes things I didn't know I needed. She is able to see the big picture, work within the most stringent constraints, and always gets the job done right, and on time! Her integrity and commitment to her clients make her the best choice." -- Madeline Nelson, Northeastern Illinois University

"Cheryl is the type of consultant that not only excels at the project-at-hand…but also brings a fresh perspective. Her expertise in the advanced utilization of nonprofit software is a given…her ability to see cross-organizational needs, and solutions, is her gift. Anyone working in a small development office, with precious few others with whom to "talk database," could enhance their effectiveness by scheduling seasonal consultations with Cheryl." -- Michele Fitzgerald
