"Raland brought a passion for our mission and made significant inroads in the community while promoting the agency and its programs. During his time as Executive Director, our corporate and foundation grant revenues increased steadily, new funding sources were identified and secured, and new partnerships were developed. Raland successfully navigated the agency through the loss of a significant funder in 2017 and, although it was not easy, he kept the core of our staff together and continued to serve the children in our programs. I know Raland to be a man of character and would highly recommend him to your organization."
