I found her to be one of the most dynamic and self-directed agency heads I've worked with in government; she knew her subject, she knew what she wanted to accomplish, but most of all she knew how to make things happen and did so -- a rare trait. As a result, when I needed an expert on children services for a project we were working on several years later, I called Jone. I was not disappointed; her subject-matter knowledge was far deeper than I even had expected, and her level of effort, quality of work, and turnaround were exceptional. I think anyone would be lucky to work with, or for, Jone." Eric Schnurer, CEO Public Works, LLC   "I've worked with Jone for several years and on a range of different activities -- project conceptualization, project management, strategic planning and grant writing. Jone was instrumental in the writing of two competitive grant proposals that resulted in $1.5 Million in funding for our Center. Jone also has a wealth of experience to draw upon as a one-on-one coach/consultant to leaders and projects that are going through significant transitions - whether the need is for rapid scaling up or down. I encourage you to hire Jone, she is very effective and worth the investment."
