I want to give special thanks to GDA for your immense support and commitment to build this organization. Beyond facilitation of an excellent Executive Search, their guidance significantly strengthened both our governance and our operations. We could not have accomplished this much without you.

When the Montana Academy Foundation Board of Directors realized that our school was not financially viable, we were faced with the stark choice of closing the school or finding a suitable partner. Within a month of retaining Glick & Davis, they had scanned the landscape for possible targets for a merger or an acquisition and led us in negotiations with an organization interested in acquiring the school. Despite a variety of complications that often felt overwhelming to me, GDA delivered a successful conclusion, one that our board could never have achieved on our own. Going into the process, we Directors had two priorities: 1) provide continuity of care for our students and their families; 2) preserve the livelihoods of nearly fifty employees. Thanks to GDA, we achieved both. These guys are very, very good at what they do.

Residence XII provided residential treatment for women with substance abuse problems for over 40 years. In our last few years, our annual budget deficit grew, putting our viability in jeopardy. When we found GDA in 2018, we were in deep red ink. JGA guided our board and staff gracefully through a series of turnaround and merger options and decisions, supporting us at each, which eventually led to a terrific outcome. I can’t stress enough how traumatic this could have been for us and how GDA’s methodical and systematic help supported our options analysis in a positive way. Working with Tim Davis and Newport Academy, our mission and all of our services not only continued, but were expanded with Newport’s much greater capacity and size.

I don’t think our search could have been run more effectively! The partnership between Glick, Davis & Associates and Third Sector Company was excellent. The GDA team skillfully guided us through the process, including outreach to and screening of candidates, thorough reference checks, and insightful facilitation of interviews.

Glick Davis & Associates guided and coached us through the processes of developing a letter of intent, structuring an agreement, and negotiating the details of an excellent agreement. We now have a legal affiliation with MultiCare Health System and are happily discovering how to be even better as a partnership than I had hoped could be possible. If you are considering a similar journey I highly recommend Glick & Associates as thoroughly professional, personable, experienced, resourceful and tactful experts to help you succeed.

Paths to Understanding
Our department had been grappling with escalating utility costs for many years. Glick Davis & Associates quickly and collaboratively assessed our situation, designed a process and developed a strategic plan that addressed our department’s barriers and opportunities. Glick Davis & Associates then conveyed the essential elements of the necessary changes clearly and compellingly to internal and external stakeholders in order to build buy-in to the initiative. Glick & Associates achieved powerful results and buy-in to change initiatives--a rare combination for a consulting company in the public sector.

Our board and staff loved how GDA kept us focused on the most critical strategic issues within the business planning process. They also seamlessly facilitated the Executive Director succession, balancing the interests of the board with those of the incoming and outgoing Directors. As a new Executive Director myself, GDA’s insightful coaching has given me the tools to better develop and empower my staff in order to meet the business plan’s objective of being an industry leader.
