"Bart is a wonderful community resource and leader. I've witnessed his special skill in helping a community have a conversation with itself, exploring potentially highly volatile human issues while enabling diverse groups to reach understanding and common ground. All of this in a low-key, behind the scenes manner.

Bart's experience in building strong communities enables him to share his wisdom and insight's with staff, volunteers and community members in articulate and well understood terms. As a colleague his listening skills are supportive and understanding, an often needed sounding board for me and others.

I highly recommend Bart to any organization seeking to have difficult conversations at many levels in hopes of improving outcomes for the organization and the people involved. "

We serve (and are, ourselves) a very diverse population - ethnically, linguistically, culturally, and economically. Bart is able to find and nurture the commonalities, celebrate the differences, and guide his team to expand its vision, reach further, and achieve the goals and objectives of the organization."
