“I have been a participant in many planning seminars Pete has facilitated, including those he conducted for the two credit unions where I have been CEO. He has the natural ability, the skills and the experience to take a room full of people, with varied ideas about the direction of an organization, and make them come together in consensus by the end of the day. The goals and objectives we've developed under Pete's direction have been essential to addressing our key issues, and moving our organizations forward.


“I've known Pete for many years, and beyond planning, I trust his consultative advice because it comes from his own experiences working in numerous capacities as a volunteer and a professional. And, he brings to the table everything he's learned in working with literally hundreds of credit unions throughout his career.”
