"We have engaged Lila as a consultant multiple
times at the Foundation for Change. We are a repeat client
because of her demonstrated commitment to our core values
of justice and inclusivity, her encouragement to lift our
sights high and her ability to offer concrete practical next
steps. I especially value her willingness to take on the difficult
challenges, her ability to talk frankly when frank talk is
required and her unfailing professionalism through it all.
I say hire her."
