Stacy has an exceptional talent for identifying project needs, fostering positive outcomes, and infusing fun into the process! As a co-leader in developing the Great Rivers & Routes Tourism Bureau's 10-Year Tourism Master Plan and our organization’s 3-Year Strategic Plan, Stacy excelled in outlining the project timeline, assigning tasks, actively listening, and offering valuable solutions while truly engaging with our project team, board of directors and community leaders. Her approachable interview style with stakeholders facilitated productive discussions that deepened our understanding of their needs and aspirations for tourism development. I admire her straightforward approach and her ability to read the room, ensuring we moved forward with the right next steps during our planning sessions with the board and team members. Throughout the entire process, she kept us on track, making the experience thoroughly positive. I greatly value her perspective on urbanism and tourism, which will enhance our ability to serve the community better and drive the goals set forth in our Master Plan.

Her leadership, organizational and strategic skills are exceptional. …She's an empathetic leader who truly listens, digests, and appropriately responds to her clients. Often times project managers and leaders are rigid, but Stacy exemplifies flexibility and is able to pivot quickly and effectively. For over 20 years I've worked in the government sector and have been involved in a variety of strategic planning processes, none were as effective or as enjoyable as the one Stacy led.

Stacy has a rare combination of expertise, professionalism, creativity and fun. We worked together on a challenging multi-jurisdictional industrial land project in the Portland region as well as other projects. I could always rely on Stacy to know how to navigate the local politics as well as provide new ideas. She will always be a valuable addition to any team.
