I truly appreciate the leadership, structure, and sense of urgency that Convergent brought to our Raise the Roof capital campaign. We set a very ambitious goal for our community, and your guidance allowed us to reach farther and achieve success much sooner than we could have accomplished on our own. An added bonus was that we received outstanding publicity through the many conversations we had with prospective donors.
