We were looking for an evaluation of our immigration grants program over the last several years and hired Cynthia Gibson for the job. She produced the perfect report on a quick timeline. It was pitched at the right level, sophisticated, nuanced and exactly what our board needed to understand where our impact had been, what others in the field thought of our work, and how to think through next steps for our program.

I had the pleasure and privilege of having Cynthia Gibson as my mentor as I transitioned into my first executive director position. Her candor, experience and passion helped make a personally and professionally difficult transition manageable, and her guidance helped set me up for success. I benefited greatly from Cynthia’s coaching and wouldn’t be where I am today without her investment in me and my organization.
