“When you were with us, we worked as a unit. We got a lot of things done. Our neighborhood plan had a bit of what everyone wanted. You made sure the people had a voice in it.”
–Mrs. Mary Taylor, neighborhood activist
“As a facilitator, Wendy is fiercely organized and informed, as well as highly energetic, upbeat and possessed of a good sense of humor. Under Wendy’s guidance, our group has matured and grown, developing a stronger long-term vision and becoming more effective in our work.”
–Ann S. Vanderburgh, The Williston Northampton School
“You make people feel welcome and that their opinion matters. You’re especially effective [with youth groups] because you make sure everyone understands and is part of the process.”
–Allison Buck, high school senior
“Wendy Krom is by far one of the most gentle and patient people I have ever met. When you meet Wendy, it is immediately obvious she has a passion for helping others.”
–Justine Cote
“Wendy’s consulting for our community coalition, from the start, has been so helpful to our group’s focus and direction. Each time Wendy worked with us, she was able to coral the energy of the group and enable us to take the next step. She went on to work with other coalitions that we mentor and was able to help them in similar ways.”
–Jennifer Flannery, Flood Brook Community Collaborative
