Testimonials

"We recently worked with Sheri to revamp our organization’s strategic plan. She skillfully led staff and members through thoughtful discussion, challenged us to use creative ways to look at things differently, and asked the tough questions. Sheri was able to take an overwhelming amount of information generated throughout the process and boil it down into a concise, easy-to-understand, future-ready plan for our organization. Her vision will be instrumental in giving us the tools to navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead as we help our members and our organization thrive, today and into the future."-Bonnie Stewart, CEO, Connecticut Society of CPAs
"In 2020, I was a Partner at Avenue M Group when I was hired to lead INFORMS. I left one dream job for another dream job. When I needed a brief employee survey when I started at INFORMS, I turned to Avenue M. When I needed a new strategic plan, I turned to Sheri Jacobs for her expert facilitation and writing skills. Because I worked there, I know how "the sausage gets made" and it is expertly done by Sheri and the whole Avenue M team. "-Elena Gerstmann, PhD, Executive Director, Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences
