  • This is my second or third time working with Due East Partners to undergo a strategic planning process. It is such a pleasure working with Bess, Lauren, and team because not only do they bring a variety of expertise and high expectations for each task; they have a positive attitude while providing exceptional services. I highly recommend Due East Partners to carry out your organization’s vision for current and future success.

  • The best decision we made was to hire Due East. Their ability to truly listen, gently guide and challenge us made all the difference. What puts them way ahead of the competition and was in large part why our end product is so effective, was their unwavering commitment to first recognize and then build upon our organization’s unique strengths. Due East didn’t just help us write a strategic plan, they helped us build a stronger organization.

    Kim Coble, Executive Director, Maryland League of Conservation Voters
