"At every step, they felt like true partners in the work, not simply service providers. Randy Black and Dr. Kathryn Hamel facilitated our two-day workshop with skill, energy, and authenticity. Their ability to create space for meaningful dialogue while keeping us focused on results made a significant impact. I would enthusiastically recommend the Jacob Green and Associates team to any organization seeking a strategic planning partner who brings both heart and expertise to the table. They didn't just help us craft a plan -- they helped us bring our values and vision to life."

Christian Tubbs, MS, MA, EFO, CFO, CFC, MIFireE, Fire Chief, Southern Marin Fire District

"Their approach to stakeholder engagement via one-on-one interviews and member surveys resulted in an insightful analysis of our association's current observations and future aspirations. The two-day in-person workshop with our leadership team (60 people!) was enjoyable and interactive. The JGA team created a supportive and ambitious environment in which we were challenged to revise our vision statement and generate a set of goals and objectives that puts us on a path of organizational sustainability with maximum benefit to our membership."

Jennifer Wakeman, Finance Director, City of San Ramon, Former President, California Society of Municipal Finance Officers

"Jacob Green and Associates has proven to be a trusted and forward-looking partner for the City of San Luis Obispo Police Department. In our work together to create a modern and inclusive strategic plan, JGA surpassed all of our expectations in not only the product but the process. Successful community engagement is the key for community-centric policing and JGA delivered for our City Council and community members striving for next level collaboration for enhanced police services."

Rick Scott, Chief of Police, City of San Luis Obispo Police Department

"Thank you, JGA team. The entire process was wonderful -- very engaging, flexible to meet our needs, easy to follow and update as we continue with our strategic plan. I'm glad we will be working together for a few more updates."

Karla Romero, Director of Finance, Coachella Valley Water District, President, California Society of Municipal Finance Officers

"As our Chief of Police, I could not be more pleased with the comprehensive strategic plan that Jacob Green and Associates created for my organization. We now have a clear vision for our future, and my team is able to see our path forward to achieving success. Our new strategic plan has truly been transformational for our police department."

John Cregan, Chief of Police, City of Santa Rosa Police Department

"My initial goal of helping everyone get to know their peers better was far surpassed. The ability of JGA to craft an off-site team building expressly tailored to my department's needs was impressive, and the ability to pivot during the team building and spend additional time where needed was a welcomed added value."

Michael Solorza, Director of Finance, City of Montebello

"One of the best things we did as an organization was conduct an organizational assessment with Jacob Green and Associates. We are ready for an incredible 2022 and will build on their work to further strengthen our organization."

Atif Elkadi, Chief Executive Officer, Ontario International Airport

"My agency has engaged Jacob's team on two separate occasions for two very different assignments. In both cases, he demonstrated a wealth of information and the unique ability to relate to all in the room. He definitely delivered!"

Kristine Ridge, City Manager (frmr), City of Santa Ana

“We were very impressed with JGA’s ability to assess our current emergency preparedness efforts and identify gaps and areas for tangible and cost-effective improvement. The JGA team developed creative and customized training opportunities for staff that has helped position the City to respond effectively to various disaster scenarios.”

Ben Siegel, City Manager, San Juan Capistrano
