Testimonials







"We sincerely appreciate your efficient, gracious customer service and the level of detail and accountability you have demonstrated during this project. We will most definitely recommend your services to other agencies and contacts. Our team could not be more satisfied with your work, and we look forward to working with you again in the future."

—Jessica L. Fleming, MPH, Cities Readiness Initiative Program Manager, Marion County Public Health Department, Indiana

"I had such a good time working with Facente Consulting and am so appreciative of the theory of change and the report from our retreat. The theory of change has created such simple language for me to use when discussing the program - within 3 months I have already incorporated it into a report and a proposal."

—Zach Ford, Senior Program Manager, AIDS United

"Autumn delivered exceptional work! She was extraordinarily communicative and professional."

—Ryan Anson, NP, East Bay AIDS Center (EBAC)

"Thank you so much for your expansive and grounded thinking as you guided us through this process. At that early meeting, where we were just writing all kinds of ideas and visions down, everything seemed incredibly scattered and chaotic - it made my brain hurt. You took your time to carefully assemble all these seemingly random thoughts and dreams into actual categories and suddenly I could see what was happening. It's almost like you tricked us into creating a strategic plan! I learned a great deal from this process."

—Esther Landau, The Arc San Francisco

"Your revised Ending the Epidemics draft is just brilliant. You set the bar high and always exceed it."

—Mike Shriver, Co-Chair of the San Francisco HIV Community Planning Council

"I have been doing this work for 20 years plus and never have I experienced a convening that was so intentional, powerful and purposeful. Thank you for being so phenomenal!"

—LaQuita Cooper, Project Manager, Cancer Center and Research Institute, University of Mississippi Medical Center

"On behalf of all of us, THANK YOU for doing such excellent and thoughtful work. Your sensitivity to the community and understanding of the vision for the project were invaluable!"

—Sherry Williams, Co-Executive Director, One Treasure Island
