Gina Vergilio is a consultant we have contracted to assist us in the development of our organization. She has been working with us for about six months now and I am quite impressed by her intelligence and drive. She comes from a business background but understands well the strengths and limitations of not for profit organizations. Consultants are theoretically valuable but far too often lack in substance and depth: they tell us what we already know and leave us no better off than when we started. Gina has been a pleasant exception to the norm. She works hard, she works well and she delivers useful results. I am quite comfortable in giving my very strong endorsement of Gina Vergilio.

Thank you for your program of instruction yesterday on financial management. I found it very helpful and learned new techniques for budgeting, reporting and managing our work. I also enjoyed the energy and enthusiasm you brought to the session. I will recommend you as a resource to my colleagues in the voluntary sector here in Hamilton. It was a pleasure meeting you.

I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for the financial management training for board members that you led last week at United Way. I appreciate you staying on message and working through the different challenges that you encountered during the session. Thank you for making numbers not seem scary!!! I appreciate all your help.

Gina has been the association’s governance consultant since 2015. During that time, she has helped us get our ‘ship in working order’. She worked closely with the board to establish a governance structure, define board and committee responsibilities, create necessary board policies and internal controls, modernize our by-laws, develop effective financial management practices, conduct board evaluations, and develop a strategic plan. Gina provides governance training to our Board each year to ensure that our directors are fully conversant with their duties. Bringing Gina on-board was the best decision that I made as president! I highly recommended Gina as a consultant for non-profit associations.
