"Kerry Gallagher gets it. In the world we live in, passion isn't enough. We can all point to scenarios where people cared to their emotional limit, but still nothing got done. Kerry's key is that she combines that earnest emotional investment with a visceral understanding of interpersonal dynamics and strategic thinking and a true understanding of where an organization can go. She knows that resources are limited, but creativity is not. I've seen her work in board rooms, council chambers and on the street at the same high level of effectiveness. She consistently brings energy, insight and experience to help overcome obstacles along the way, but never lets the main goal slip out of focus. I'm proud to know her as a friend and community member. "

"Working with Provecho Group has been a delight. Kerry has gone above and beyond in ensuring that our project embarked without a hitch. She has been extremely flexible with her time, is knowledgeable with the subject matter, and has completed her tasks on time and as directed. Kerry also brings a sense of calm that only experience can provide, and has been a great coach in helping our team achieve their goals."

"We finally, as a Board, found the elusive horse before the cart. We used to have a fundraising strategy without much of a structure and set goals. Now we have clear and common-sense goals based on a thoughtful review of our past experience and accomplishments.  Getting buy-in from the board was achieved with much discussion and no consternation.  There were raves about how fun and substantive the retreat was for the Board and staff."

- Lillibeth Navarro, Executive Director, CALIF

"Kerry is an innovative thinker and effective leader who can help a team accomplish their goals. She knows when to lead and when to listen and can take people's ideas to the next level by helping them set a clear plan of action with a committed course for follow-though. She develops positive relationships with the people she is working with and her passion for community work is undeniable."

- Beth Rayfield, Ph.D., Director of Development, CHIRLA*
