When choosing a consultant to assist us with our long-range planning, we sought an experienced, motivated professional with a keen grasp of the multitude of issues that face bar foundations in particular. Chris Newbold of ALPS Foundation Services guided us through the process, keeping us focused, on time, and on budget. He actively worked with our staff, board, and constituents with a competence and effectiveness that helped ensure we were able to develop a plan that will help us to direct our activities to meet our mission over the long term.
