"Maleka was a fantastic facilitator and the information that was generated on how to better serve our Communities is invaluable. Maleka was able to lead positive and productive conversations making sure the voices in the audience were heard. Her analysis of the information after the meetings was also insightful and honest. I would absolutely recommend Maleka for any School District that is intent on listening to their Communities." - William Penn School District Current & Previous PartnersTo learn more and see if ELN aligns with your intention, click the link below to schedule a Potential Partner Chat |
