What Our Clients Have Said:
“Roy trained my original major gifts team and launched our major giving program, more than four years ago. When I received my first $1.8 million dollar donation, Roy was the first person I thanked for his investment in me. Roy is a confidant, sounding board and friend that I often turn to for coaching and advice in fundraising and leadership. I have him back regularly to train my team. – Dr. Candace L.

I am forever grateful for his invaluable leadership and friendship. – Dennis Chapman, Chief Development Officer (emeritus), City Union Mission of Kansas City
