Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium

"Our experience in working with Relevant Strategies & Solutions was just amazing. Rick Biddle, Rick Barongi and Thomas Biddle were fantastic to work with. Their unique approach to understanding our organization’s culture, environment and vision were unmatched. Attention to detail, constant contact, consultation, feedback and tremendous results. We were able to select from an outstanding pool of candidates for our position(s) and the results have been outstanding. We would use them again, without hesitation."


- Craig Jacobs, Director of Human Resources, Safety & Security

Lemur Conservation Foundation

"It’s difficult to easily express in a few words how grateful we are for all you have done [to support Lemur Conservation Foundation’s  executive search]. You guided us, challenged us - to be the best we could be."

- George Amato, Ph.D., Board Member, Lemur Conservation Foundation

 
"I enthusiastically recommend the services of Jill Macauley with Relevant Strategies & Solutions. Through my work with Jill on a nonprofit board executive director search, I found her to be extremely professional, well organized, thorough and results driven. In addition to her professional qualifications, she is an absolute pleasure to work with.  Our Board committee and Board of trustees couldn’t be more pleased with the results of her work."


- Dianne Ledder, Board Member, Lemur Conservation Foundation

Henry Vilas Zoo

"We would like to express our gratitude for Rick and Jill’s partnership and outstanding service provided to the Henry Vilas Zoo (HVZ). During our institution’s restructuring of best practices, leveraging funding and fundraising opportunities, Rick and Jill conducted an organizational assessment that exemplified a forward-thinking approach. This approach, along with their understanding and knowledge of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) industry, they clearly outlined recommendations that assisted the Zoo in maintaining its AZA accreditation while continuing to fulfill its vision of being a “locally loved community treasure, globally recognized conservation leader; forever accessible.”

- Ronda Schwetz, Executive Zoo Director

 
"We appreciated the experience, guidance and insights that Rick and Jill brought to the table. Their work has created positive change and couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome. It was a seamless transition that wouldn’t have been possible without Rick and Jill’s accessibility and thoughtfulness surrounding our circumstances. Recommendations are what we asked for…solutions are what we walked away with. We would highly recommend Rick and Jill to any institution looking to improve their organizational operations and look forward to working with them again in the future. Rick and Jill - the Henry Vilas Zoo appreciates your partnership!"


- Joseph Darcangelo, Deputy Zoo Director

BREC's Baton Rouge Zoo


“The support and advice I have received from Rick Biddle and Jill Macauley over the last 5 years has been invaluable! While the road has been bumpy at times, I am proud of the work we have done to get us to this point. Five years ago, status quo seemed to be acceptable, but we shot for bigger dreams and knew Baton Rouge deserved better. And here we are, ready to embark on the first phase of our new facility master plan.” 


- Phil Frost, Director of BREC's Baton Rouge Zoo

Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

“Working with Relevant Strategies & Solutions to conduct the Zoo’s executive search, Rick Biddle and Jill Macauley aided us in refining and clarifying the skillset we were looking for in a new leadership position.

Reid Park Zoo

“The planning team at Relevant Strategies & Solutions provided Reid Park Zoo with the tools and roadmap to bring our community a great zoo, now and long into the future. They gathered and presented the information that our board and community leaders needed to make informed decisions. They were there for us every step of the way to guide our management team and connect us with the information or resources needed to ensure a successful transition.”

-Nancy J. Kluge, President & CEO, Reid Park Zoo

Mental Health Partnerships

“Mental Health Partnerships engaged the planning team to support the development of a strategic plan in the winter of 2017. Our primary reason for selecting Jill Macauley and Catherine Grace is that their process enables all levels of our organization and board to collaborate on the creation of this important plan. Jill and Catherine did a magnificent job, immersing themselves into our work and culture. They proved to be incredibly skilled facilitators whether with executive staff, Board members or direct services staff. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of our work with Jill and Catherine. As one very long-tenured leader in our organization stated at one of our planning meetings, ‘this was the best strategic planning process I was ever involved in my 25 years at Mental Health Partnerships!’”

-Michael Brody, Former President & CEO, Mental Health Partnerships
