Samantha has been and continues to be an incredible asset to our organization! She is the consummate team player who not only has a wealth of knowledge and experience but also the ability to work within a larger team while keeping everyone on track and productive. She is focused, insightful, and collaborative while also being an empathetic listener.

Sam’s skillful facilitation helped [our] board reach consensus on several critical issues requiring resolution, including the hiring of a new executive director[...]adopting a case for support for fundraising, and establishing a succession policy for [the future] board chair..
All of this was possible because of the amazing focus and work ethic that Sam demonstrated before, during, and after the retreat. Further, she has a unique ability to intuit and convey what’s on people’s minds, along with a gift for converting complex challenges into clear opportunities. Post-retreat she distilled our entire session into the major takeaways and actionable steps needed to turn our vision into reality.
2024 is destined to be [our] most productive year ever thanks to a retreat masterfully facilitated by Sam Heffner and we are pleased to give her our highest endorsement.

I highly recommend Samantha Heffner as a certified nonprofit board strategist. In the more than 15 years I have known and worked with Sam, her expertise in aligning board functions with the nonprofit's mission and vision, combined with her adeptness in fostering effective board-staff relationships, has consistently resulted in increased efficiency and impact for the organizations she serves. She continues to provide my team and I with insightful and invaluable direction that is helping take my organization to a greater and more impactful stage of our history.
