If you have ever set out to update the vision and mission for your organization, you know how chaotic a process that can be. Deena was able to bring together all the voices that needed to be heard including the communities we serve now and hope to serve in the future. The result was a vision that accurately reflects the perspectives of community members, stakeholders, and staff and an updated mission statement that thoughtfully incorporated elements from all areas of the Garden. Most importantly, she led us to the realization that we are cultivating a future where biodiversity and human diversity flourish side by side and that our actions today shape a shared future for both nature and humanity. If you need a well-organized, thoughtful, and creative mind to help you create a strategic vision for your organization, I highly recommend Deena for the job.
