"Without your help and passion to guide us through this process, we would never have succeeded in accomplishing what we did. It was a great experience for me personally as it gave me an insight into a whole other world of politics and government. I was very impressed by your knowledge, methods, spirit and good humor throughout the process."

"I want to thank you for your excellent assistance in helping us plan and implement strategies for community participation on the controversial issue of housing and services for the homeless.
We faced a challenging task when the City of Columbus and Franklin County asked us to develop a comprehensive plan to address the needs of homeless people impacted by development. With your help, the process of seeking public participation on the plan ran incredibly smoothly.
Your community meeting training and strategies for building public support were invaluable…. Those who still disagree with us on homelessness issues were nonetheless pleased with the public participation process, and that makes it so much easier to ultimately reach consensus."
Barbara Poppe
Executive Director
Community Shelter Board
"We found it necessary to enlist the help of GCA Strategies at a time when our plans for an affordable housing project were under attack… Your efforts helped to generate public support for the project from more than 100 citizens. You have won us the active backing of the Building and Construction Trades Council, and you have even managed to persuade many immediate neighbors who were previously opposed to affordable housing in their backyard."

"In just one month, we’ve seen an entirely different attitude on the part of community leaders in Napa." It’s amazed me how you have been able to work so effectively on our behalf, coordinating grass-roots outreach and building coalitions with so many diverse groups, including local business and labor leaders, Hispanic groups, and the Napa Taxpayers Association. Your work is making a real difference."

"With the help of you and the rest of the team, we were able to generate substantial support for our project among our own members, local merchants and community leaders. I personally believe that the turning point for the project was the overwhelming response of more than 2,000 of our members who returned postcards in response to the mailing that you coordinated."
