Grant and Proposal Development & Administrative Management
I had the pleasure of working with Chris on three related proposals, and have a tremendous regard for her administrative skills and her ethics. Chris was the hub for these three proposals - she made sure every aspect of the project, no matter how minuscule, was addressed. Without her, we would not have effectively or successfully completed them. Because of her, my network of exceptional people has grown significantly as well. In addition, I trust her, and it is no small feat for someone to earn my trust to the extent that she has. If you are looking for someone with heart, brains, ethics and skill, then I strongly recommend you choose Chris. From my experience, she is an extremely competent administrator, connector, and completer, as well as a terrific person to know. ~~ Suzanne J. Ebbers, CEO at LuminEssence Change by Design, April 2013
Strategic Planning, Community Development & Meeting Facilitation
Chris is an intelligent, hardworking person who goes beyond what may be normally expected of her to get the job done and done well. She can be trusted to work well on her own and also is a great team player. A person I would like to work with in the future and would recommend to anyone who is working with any issue in the area of support services to young children and and their families. A joy to work with.~~Frank Platt, Florida's Department of Children & Families, Florida, October 2012
Presentation Development, Meeting Facilitation & Report Production
Chris has been supporting the work of Florida's Head Start State Collaboration Office by communicating with Head Start programs in the state; attending meetings on behalf of the Collaboration Office Director; compiling data and developing reports for many different projects in the areas of oral health, early childhood education, and family and child welfare. She is prompt, reliable, versatile and detailed in her work.~~Lilli Copp, Director, Florida Head Start State Collaboration Office, January 2013
Executive Leadership Coaching & Board Development
Ms. Duggan has been amazing in the development of this program as well as my professional development, she meets with me once a week and has shared with me much of her wisdom from being an executive director for 20 plus years. I could not be more happy in my decision for a chair and her performance on the board.~~Carly Sinnadurai, Executive Director, Sharing Tree Re-use Center, May 2012
Non-Profit Organization Management & Board Development
I served with Chris as a member of Rotary Club of Tallahassee Sunrise. There she exhibited the values of a Rotarian--especially "Service above Self!" Additionally, I served with Chris as a Board Member of the Early Learning Coalition. There, I observed Chris' technical and leadership skills. She earned the respect of her colleagues locally and statewide. She exhibited the highest standards of ethics while maintaining her commitment to mission. She navigated difficult times (funding shortfalls) and made the hard decisions with grace and professionalism. ~~Linda Nelson, President and CEO, Managing Member at EarthSTEPS, LLC., September 2012
