"When we merged with another firm Elisabeth helped us define our similarities and differences and document the combined companies' vision and value statements. She outlined a plan to integrate our systems and organize our employees, helped document an organization chart, job descriptions, a comprehensive employee handbook and an objective individual performance appraisal system. She was a great asset to the combined senior leadership of the two companies. And, although the NLS contract work is complete, Elisabeth continues to be a resource for leads and professional services."

Additionally, she was a great sounding board and willing to take a call anytime; even on weekends!"
