Testimonial 1
“The value of Resilient Heritage has been essential to creating culture change at Haymarket Center. Within the first minute of knowing Daniel, I understood his strength of interpersonal communication in addition to his detail-oriented skills in logistics. With his support, our organization was able to leverage the necessary relationships that made our annual fundraiser a success. Building on his experience this year, his 2020 project timeline already shows tremendous insight in how we can improve our event planning by leveraging our resources creatively and more efficiently. The ultimate effect is more support for our population of individuals with substance abuse disorder in recovery.” – Sam Provenzano, Vice President of Institutional Advancement, Haymarket Center
Testimonial 2
"Daniel was instrumental in helping Landmarks Illinois commemorate the 20th anniversary of our annual "Most Endangered List" in Illinois, featuring 20 of the most memorable historic spaces, places, and buildings our organization has had a hand in preserving in the List's 20-year history. As a part of the project team, Daniel coordinated the creation of our project website, translated its content into Spanish, and ensured direct engagement with our statewide-audience through the production of tailor-made signage for each of the 20 sites and communicating directly with their contacts. I highly recommend Daniel for projects featuring diverse audiences as he is both personable and a diligent worker." – Lisa DiChiera, Director of Advocacy, Landmarks Illinois
Testimonial 3
Daniel was extremely helpful when Edgar Miller Legacy needed guidance with a five-figure programming grant application, bringing much-needed expertise and perspective to a new organization writing these types of requests for the first time. Furthermore, he brought added insight into how to craft a quality and engaging program beyond the initial grant application, going above and beyond the scope of the initial project description. Daniel pushed our sights higher, and we received our grant and had better public programming due to his efforts. – Zac Bleicher, Executive Director, Edgar Miller Legacy
