Here is what they are saying about Lydia:  

"Wow. With unbelievable TLC, the presenters curated exemplar grantwriting consultant websites. They organized their presentation by topic -- and for each topic, gave multiple websites that are exemplary. I will definitely be referring to their presentation powerpoint for ideas and guidance."  

"I find it's infrequent that a basic how to research/vet grants class/webinar has enough detail in it to teach me something substantive. Most are too general, broad, and basic. But this webinar was outstanding. The presenter was generous with her knowledge and has such in-depth knowledge to teach seasoned grant professionals some tricks of the  trade. Even with my experience, I learned something. I like that! I have recommended it to our local Indy chapter to let our members know about it so they can register for it."  Thanks, Nina

"Lydia, Very nice GPA presentation! The assistant in our Financial Development office is excited to start helping me with grant research, and this webinar is a great resource."   Tiffany


"That was a fantastic presentation. It was really clear you'd put a lot of work into it. For me, it's a keeper -- I will definitely be referring to it over the next year and beyond."   Deborah


"I wanted to thank you both for the great session today.  It was obvious you did a lot of work to put that together.  You provided such valuable information, and gave me the motivation I need to get going networking again. It definitely was one of the best sessions I attended at the conference!"  Elly
