Testimonials

"Mary has unusually strong people skills. She listened closely to their concerns and as a result we were able to design an evaluation that minimized their anxiety while at the same time gathered important information needed by the executive director and board in order to make informed decisions about future directions for the organization."
--Jana Kay Slater, PhD

"Mary surveyed each participant regarding their goals for the workshop (which was very beneficial) and developed the agenda around those goals. The post-workshop documentation regarding the discussions and outcomes was excellent and will be invaluable... for their follow-up work."
--Anonymous, Meeting Coordinator

"Mary Vradelis did an excellent job as Interim Managing Director for Marin Theatre Company. She effectively downloaded from our out-going MD, steered the ship with a steady hand during the interim period, helped with our nation-wide MD search and uploaded to our new MD. Also, at the end of her time with us, she provided our Board and new MD with many useful ideas for the future growth and development of MTC. During a challenging time of transition, Mary was just what we wanted and needed."
-- Brian Haughton, V.P. of the Board, Marin Theatre Company

"As we are deep in transition, working toward a paradigm shift about vision, mission and services, we recognize the value of Mary's intelligence and focus every time we meet. With humor and grace, she steers a clear course for our frequently diffuse conversations. As part of our team, she is invaluable. When it is appropriate for her to take a leadership role, you can almost hear the sigh of relief from others in the room. We know that we will always know where Mary stands, what she stands for, and how it relates to our work together."
--Sabrina Klein, Creative Education Consulting

"Mary is a natural and comfortable public speaker. In each of these panels, I found her to be well prepared and concise in her presentations. As facilitator of the panel for the AWP, Mary encouraged comprehensive presentations by the other panelists and full participation by the attendees."
