“I have observed Kay as she has worked with several nonprofit boards and Executive Directors to strategically plan their paths to fully implement and fund their missions. She has a professional yet gentle manner that instills confidence and trust that brings people together toward a common goal. Her understanding of the dynamics of successful board leadership is extraordinary.”

“Kay Irby is simply one of the finest and best seminar leaders and consultants I’ve been lucky enough to lean on and learn from for years. Kay is like that coach who teaches you things about the game no one else knows and for whom you want to play your best because you respect her so much. As a board chairman of a local non-profit, I can honestly say that I’ve learned something from every seminar or orientation Kay has led, which I have implemented into our meetings and agendas. Informative, interactive, hands-on, and practical are all aspects of the Kay Irby seminar method. There’s no one better.”

“Kay has done an excellent job leading the Feeding Louisiana team and board in strategic planning for our next few years. Her ability to discern our unique opportunities and challenges helped greatly in her being able to ask the right questions and to push our group to consider what we need to accomplish our goals. Her passion for mission-driven organizations is clear in the care and attention she has shown to our team and the project.”

“Kay’s expertise in guiding my staff in developing our strategic plan crystalized the goals and taught them how to define the goal and develop action steps leading to successfully attaining it. Her ability to elevate the process and distinguish goals from actions transformed the thinking of the staff. We have used her methods successfully for over seven years and three long-range plans”
