Client Testimonials

Dawn is the consummate organizer. I worked with her as treasurer for the Association of Fundraising Professionals Golden Gate Chapter for which Dawn is the administrator. She had been in the role less than a year. Over the next several months we worked together to streamline finance procedures, search for reduction in expense, and screen more than three-dozen applicants for an event position. After initial collaborative conversation she carried out the majority of the work, on time, questions ready, always prepared.

AFP Golden Gate Chapter Treasurer

I have worked with Dawn the past 15 years. We have worked together for a high tech start up, a professional industry organization, a nonprofit, and my own small business. I have benefited and learned an enormous amount as she has creatively made these organizations and businesses far more efficient and cost effective. She often resolves challenges with a thoughtful and productive solution. She doesn't just “do,” she searches for best practices and implements to success. She’s a delight to work with.

Dawn Carroll is the consummate professional when it comes to helping to organize the work of business associations. She is a great problem solver and consensus builder. Dawn takes it to heart helping her clients achieve their goals in a professional and positive manner. She is good at balancing the needs of individual association members with the needs of the board of directors. I highly recommend her professional services.
