“It can be challenging to work with such a sensitive topic and not appear to blame or point fingers, whether at the participants or at those who may have offended them, but Jill managed this feat admirably. She was professional and easy to work with, enthusiastic, and much more flexible than many vendors with whom we have worked.”
