Ellis Planning Associates Inc.

Galen has a keen understanding of what it takes to build effective non-profit organizations. We had the privilege of working with Galen and her team in a number of capacities, mainly to develop our theory of change and program logic models. She was able to convince our members of the importance of identifying measurable outcomes that would lead us to achieving our overall mission and vision. She is engaging, big-hearted, and a wise community leader with grounded experience both in the non-profit and public sector world, and brings a much-needed entrepreneurial spirit to her clients. Galen and her team base their approach on a set of core values that are reflected in her relationships with clients: she strongly values authenticity and creativity; seeing the full potential of individuals and organizations; and acting with patience, humor, acceptance and compassion. — Gary H. Quehl, PhD Co-founder and former board member of the Center for Nonprofit Leadership
