Testimonials and/or references:

“I’ve worked with Terri for nearly five years and she has been instrumental in building our grants program. Her writing skills are first rate but more impressive is her intuitive ability to grasp concepts quickly and convey ideas in meaningful and compelling messages. Her attention to detail, commitment to excellence, and experience make her outstanding. She’s a pro, she’s talented, and she’s fun.” - Lynne Martin, Executive Director--Students Rising Above

“It is difficult to give a concise recommendation for Terri Miller as a non-profit organizational development consultant because she does so many things well. She assisted the non-profit for which I served as president of the board to develop a strategic plan; rewrite its mission and vision; devise and implement an outreach campaign and grantwriting efforts to foundations; develop more effective public relations and publications; coach the executive director in board development; even to choose a new name and develop a branding campaign. And she handled all these activities with sensitivity, perceptiveness, and good humor. She is a pleasure to work with and will certainly help your organization thrive.”  - Bruce Flynn, Director of Risk Management, UCSF; Former Board President, SteppingStone Adult Day Health.
