“Strategy Solutions is the go-to firm for board governance. Penn-Northwest Development Corporation hired Strategy Solutions to help the board of directors fully understand their role as a governing body and to create a highly functioning board and committee structure to move our mission forward. The Board was pleased with the results and I would highly recommend Strategy Solutions to any organization looking to govern at the highest level.”
