Your work was excellent and the OBA is very grateful for your efforts to gather governance information about other similar organizations, synthesize it, compare it against our current organizational structure, and then develop several alternatives for the OBA Executive to consider. I am also most grateful for the speed at which all of this was done. Quite remarkable. Your work has been a catalyst for generating discussion on a matter of very significant importance to our organization. Once again, many thanks for your excellent work.

We found Jane to be an exceptionally professional consultant, meticulous in terms of delivering on her promises efficiently and invaluable in terms of her ability to customize the experience and outcomes to the organization and board/staff culture and needs.
- Uzma Shakir, former Executive Director, South Asian Legal Clinic

Her experience and direction inspired us to embark on a strategic planning process with hope and purpose. After working with her, we are in a much better position to address our weaknesses while honouring and building on our strengths.
- Kristen Schwartz, former News Director, CKLN Radio

Very well done. I am impressed. I have never gotten so much value for my investment with any consultant as I have working with you. All the other experts just advocated to get some specific policies in place and hope for the best. You asked the right questions, quickly determined the nature of our issues, and applied best practice to our situation adapted to what was realistic and practical. You educated me on how it was, both good and bad, and did not just tell me what I wanted to hear. Your advice would have quite an impact on the leadership and delegates of our organization. You helped me immensely. This recommendation will definitely serve my needs. If you were willing I would certainly recommend our organization engage your services to help properly guide them in this matter.
- Wayne Praeder, Harrisburg PA

I have attended a great many workshops, but never with such positive and immediate application to my working environment. Thanks so much!

Jane Garthson helped us develop a strategic plan. This was a challenging assignment since she had to work with two quite distinct programs, with separate mandates and on opposites sides of the city, but melded into one organization. Her analysis was incisive, practical and very helpful throughout the planning process. She made herself readily available to all parts of the organization, its external stakeholders and the community at large. I appreciated her excellent guidance throughout the assignment.
- Hal De Lair, Executive Director, Central Toronto Community Health Centres

Jane led a recent strategic visioning exercise for our voluntary Board of Directors. Not only did we achieve the goals as planned, we were also able to leave with our collective shared vision of zero injuries to our membership by 2011. Jane Garthson got the job done.
- Ted Vandevis, CEO, Electrical & Utilities Safety Association of Ontario

Jane has been very valuable and incredibly hard-working. She is leaving the Ontario Equestrian Federation in a much stronger position in image, programs, finances and structures than when she came, and I know it will be difficult to find another with her dedication, skills and knowledge.
- Allan H. L. Ehrlick, President, Ontario Equestrian Federation

Jane fulfilled her responsibilities and on a consistent basis gave more time of herself than was expected. In addition to giving advice at frequent meetings, Jane designed the consultation process and recruited two excellent volunteers to help hold consultations, analyze findings and report back. We would publicly like to appreciate Jane's commitment and dedication, not only to the process but to the betterment of services to the women and children of the Shelter. We thank you Jane.
- Board and Collective, North York Women's Shelter

Your presentation was very well received. The comments on the evaluation forms were extremely positive. We at the United Way are very grateful for the time you are willing to give us as a volunteer. It is because of skilled volunteers such as yourself that we are able to assist our agencies become more effective. Many thanks.
- United Way of Greater Toronto

Jane Garthson quickly came to appreciate the nature of our business, our history of frustration with government, and the company's marketing potential and goals. She worked very hard on our behalf and conducted herself in a thoroughly professional manner.
- Peter Armstrong, former President and Publisher, Pathways Magazine

When we needed strategic advice on whether, how and when to present a case to government, I called Jane and always received excellent support. She understood our needs, provided fast service and was particularly helpful in guiding us through the maze of government rules and regulations.
