"I have worked directly with Colleen in her role as 'Grant Miner.' Book’Em contracted
with Colleen to 'mine' for appropriate grant opportunities for our organization. We found her work to be a profitable fund development tool. We were presented with a listing of available grants, both state and national, with a great deal of information on whom to, how to and where to send our proposal. This has become our regular first
step when searching for program and operational funding. All of our meetings with Colleen were very professional, as was the subsequent final product."

"I found Colleen to be cost effective. She did work this year for two organizations
for which I'm involved. I knew (& found) that she would do such a good job that I paid for both (development efforts) as my contributions to those organizations.

The process of increasing funds always involves a number of people. She was
outstanding in helping keep potential conflicts from coming to the service"
