"We were introduced to GHP at a pivotal moment for our organization when we were opening our new theater and had identified board growth as a key component of a successful transition into the Starr's next era.  Carrie and Ted helped us get specific about who we were looking for, compile useful documents to best introduce ourselves to board prospects, and introduced us to many incredible candidates ultimately helping us bring on three amazing new board members that we were thrilled to welcome.  Through it all they gave us salient advice that made the entire process feel easeful.  They were always kind and patient and their professional experience was evident in how seamlessly they guided the entire process.  We would certainly work with them again when the time comes!"
