She is ‘on top’ of the latest opportunities in this arena and is willing to work through and design just the right option for you. One of the most important aspects for me is that she does it in clear understandable language – not “computerized-over my head terms!”

Because of that hour, we were able to set up a website for an upcoming conference with online registration – which saved us from contracting with a company to provide this service and saved us hundreds of dollars. We consistently now use online documents for shared information, which has saved staff time and lessened the confusion that inevitably happens during events. That one hour has helped us serve our community better and in a more cost-effective way and we’re looking forward to scheduling more hours with Carol.
