Testimonials
“Our company wanted to become involved in Community Service efforts. Once the group was established, we realized that we were just spinning our wheels at weekly meetings… and then in walks Della Rae. Her spirited, no-nonsense approach to life was just the seed that we needed to grow and develop a ‘team’ focused common vision. She sat us down and engaged in conversation about our individual desires/strengths. When she found the common thread – that led to structuring and assigning roles that would help future meetings become focused on achieving set goals. Our mission statement was one that we could all embrace and strive to represent, with confidence and conviction. Through this down to earth organizational process Della Rae rocked it! ” ~ Vicki d Channel, team lids sports ~

“Organizational leaders succeed when they surround themselves with knowledgeable, bright, determined people to help them fulfill their vision. Della Rae is the ideal person to help an organization succeed. As President of the Board of Directors of RESPIRE, I have witnessed Ms. Rae’s leadership and consultative skills in action. She quickly earned the respect of fellow Board members and RESPIRE employees alike and made a concentrated effort to align her consultative guidance with the founding principles and mission of the organization. She generously shares her wealth of knowledge and trusts the leadership of the organization to complete the tasks with her supportive, informative oversight. Any organization would benefit from her profound experience developing and running a highly successful nonprofit. Ms. Rae is a gifted, dedicated strategic leader whose vision and skill are unmatched by most. I wouldn’t consider starting a non-profit without her consultative guidance.” ~ Lisa Aashiem, Ph.D, ACS , Portland State University ~

“I just watched the video of the Nonprofit Youth Leadership project that you are driving. It gave me goose bumps! Once I start getting the nonprofits on our RHBA website I most certainly want that video included. I appreciate you, your commitment, your heart; you are one soul full woman. Enjoy this day call NOW! All the BEST”, ~Bev Snow-Kuehn, Board Member, Raleigh Hills Business Association

“When we first started HelpForDaddy, we completed all of the formal work to get our non-profit status. It was only then that we realized that running a nonprofit requires more than a passion for what you do.
“Della was instrumental in channeling our passion and desire into a tangible plan with goals, expectations, and the day-to-day realities that come with the territory. Without her asking the tough questions, and challenging us to become better, we would undoubtedly still be spinning our wheels. We cannot recommend her enough.” ~Simon Date, Founder/Executive Director, HFD ~
