Janet Salopek is a true professional. She has tremendous expertise and knowledge, particularly in the areas of governance and strategic planning. Janet is thorough, dependable, punctual, and ethical. She is an articulate and accomplished communicator and a skilled facilitator. Janet immediately grasps the essential aspects of a project and is able to think through their multidimensional aspects quickly and with great clarity. Janet is a visionary and her input has allowed the Board to make sound strategic decisions in the interest of achieving organizational long-term goals.
