Testimonial
Through a dynamic and highly engaging process, the GPG team helped our collaborative develop strong partnership bonds and coalesce around a strategic implementation plan that is now guiding our efforts. I can’t imagine a team that could have better handled the often delicate and competing needs of our partners than the Glen Price Group. Throughout the entire process they displayed outstanding professionalism, incredible facilitation skills, and a commitment to extremely high–quality product. We are now working with them to design and implement a fundraising plan for the Family Justice Center that will target a variety of public and private funding streams. I would enthusiastically recommend them for any work involving strategic planning, resource development, or any combination of the two. They are absolutely the best!

Over 100 participants gathered for a stakeholder forum in January 2005. Using Appreciative Inquiry, they discovered the common best practices, strengths, and aspirations of their organizations and used these to frame a vision, mission, and strategic plan framework.
The ACFJC was one of fifteen centers selected to participate in the President’s Family Justice Center Initiative (PFJCI). Here, Cherri Allison of the Family Violence Law Center and Jim Barker of the San Diego Family Justice Center meet at one of the PFJCI family justice center learning exchanges.
