Our only regret is that we did not solicit your expertise earlier in the pilot learning curve."

"When we began planning for our retreat, we immediately thought of the TOSC program. We were aware that facilitation was one of the services that were offered through this grant. After speaking with Claudia Huff, we were convinced that we wanted to utilize Ms. Huff's services. Ms. Huff and Ms. (Corey) Fischer were excellent facilitators. We were extremely pleased with their abilities to assist us in accomplishing our desired goals within the allotted time frame. Their backgrounds in environmental issues and their awareness of environmental justice was instrument in engaging meaningful and robust dialogue."
