Spark Nonprofit Consulting

"The Hepatitis B Foundation went through a five-year strategic planning last fall. We used Kathy Beveridge of Spark Nonprofit Consulting and were very pleased.

If you haven’t worked with Kathy before, she is sharp as a tack, great at herding cats, very organized, and extremely patient. We were in the final hours of multiple sessions and hadn’t come to consensus on how to organize our strategic objectives. We were all tired and burned out … but Kathy was still able to keep us motivated and focused on very complex material, and we ended up with a great final product that will serve us well in the coming years.”

- Jean Holmes,
Vice President, Institutional Advancement Hepatitis B Foundation
