On behalf of the Board of Place des Arts, I wanted to thank you for facilitating our session last Saturday and providing comprehensive follow-up notes from the session. We now have a clear path forward and clarity as to how to proceed. It was a pleasure meeting you and working with you.

Barb Hobson, President, Place des Arts Society

Through her considerable facilitation skills, Val Mason was able to shepherd our board through some very challenging and often discouraging organizational times and she was able to equip us with not only the knowledge and skills to proceed forward but also with the confidence and enthusiasm to do so.

Thanks so much for all this detailed information! And an even bigger thank you for your assistance with the GVTPA’s strategic plan—I really felt us aligning to become a very cohesive and determined board!

Val’s session on Saturday left us with some concrete actions steps to move things forward as we begin our work as a team.

Thanks for a great workshop

Director, New Orchestra Workshop

Thanks once again for the recent and highly productive planning sessions with Access' board of directors. As you'll read in my attached follow-up letter, Val offered us a number of highly productive and valuable tools through which to focus our organization. The information Val provided was generative and will be very valuable for Access. She demonstrated expertise in the delivery of the information, was generous, articulate and lovely to be with.

Val...thanks so much for sharing your enthusiasm and encouragement and expertise today.  I think that the session went very well and we now have a direction forward ...with little accomplishable steps.

Many thanks for your notes and for facilitating Monday evening's session.  I think that we all felt reassured and energized by the exercise.
