Client’s comment:

“Lila Kelly worked collaboratively with program supervisors in our school district to find well-qualified staff. She improved our staff selection process by adding greater consistency and organization. She managed to do this successfully despite varied viewpoints among the strong-minded supervisors with whom she worked. She also ensured the recruitment and selection process was inclusive. It has been a pleasure working with her, and I greatly respect her values and ethics, especially as they pertain to fair access to meaningful employment.”

Your emphasis on the process of change an organization goes through being the real work that needs to be done was very thought-provoking. The presentations and your Diversity Assessment and Action Plan Workbook provided companies at these sessions the tools and steps to do the important internal work to make themselves employers of choice for a diverse workforce for years to come. Thanks for doing this important work! You are clearly an industry leader in these areas, that many of us now realize is far too important to neglect any longer.”
