"Joanne leads our advocacy trainings for nonprofit leaders across Maine. She has excellent presentation skills and always receives the highest scores from our participants, who leave her sessions better prepared to work with legislators and other public policy decision-makers. She is always responsive to feedback -- an invaluable attribute of a trainer, which only adds to her effectiveness. Joanne is one of MANP's top trainers and presenters!"

Client Testimonials

"Joanne helped us organize from scratch a coalition of diverse interest groups who advocated for passage of Maine's model anti-predatory lending law in June 2007, passed with unanimous support in the Maine legislature in June 2007. Joanne's knowledge of grassroots organizing, the media, and the legislative process were critical to our success. She helped us with strategy, building relationships, and getting our message out to both legislators and the public. We could not have done it without her."

"Joanne knows her stuff! She is an enthusiastic and well-organized trainer and has a wealth of practical knowledge and experience to draw upon. She's a pleasure to work with; she listens to understand our needs and goals…[and] she knows how to demystify the often arcane policy-making process…. The women who participated left with their eyes opened and feeling greatly encouraged to speak out. Many of them, later, did just that! WWC and our efforts to build leadership skills among the women we serve have benefited from our partnership with Joanne."
