“Working with Kelly at Illume allowed us to orient new board members to our mission and core values, while at the same time get everyone newly excited about our strategic priorities and next steps. We’ve gained focus and direction as a result of just a few days working with Illume.”
-Jennifer Wofford, Former President, Trumansburg Education Foundation, Trumansburg, NY

– Caroline Nowak Rasmussen, CFO, Agricultural Modeling and Training Systems, LLC, Groton, NY
“Kelly is an exceptional project management professional. She’s organized, meticulous and detailed oriented, has excellent communication skills and can quickly comprehend complex concepts and make sense of them. She can handle gathering technical requirements with ease and worked well with our team of developers. She has a calm, friendly, professional manner and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Kelly’s services!”
– Elisa Miller-Out, CEO, Singlebrook Technology, Ithaca, NY
“I find the kind of work Illume does very exciting because during my last decade or so as a chief executive I finally had my eyes opened to the benefits of a well-thought-through process improvement program that was well informed by employee involvement. Kelly is really solid in her ability to facilitate the complicated “process of changing a process.””
– Scott Heyman, Nonprofit Consultant and Former Director of Education & Training, Human Services Coalition of Tompkins County, Ithaca, NY
“Kelly gave a sharp lecture that the students raved about afterward. It’s great to hear from practitioners who have put their ideas into action and are making things happen. Great job and thank you!”
-Dan Lamb, Lecturer, Cornell Institute for Public Affairs, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
“Kelly was instrumental in guiding me through the complicated process of policy upkeep. I would communicate complex and subtle policy changes to her through various forms of media, and she would flawlessly, and quickly make the final changes in the system. I was always amazed at how accurately she handled my edits that were written in “pharmacy speak,” which is not her native tongue.”
– Michael Judd, Director of Pharmacy, Cayuga Medical Center, Ithaca, NY
“As PEAKS grew in impact and potential, our team began to feel overcommitted and unable to hone in on a strategic plan moving forward. Illume really helped us identify the most valuable use of our time and a clear, step-by-step outline for achieving our goals. They led our staff through an open, honest workshop session where we reevaluated our mission, planned action steps for targeting our most important market and created a workflow that would hold everyone accountable.”
– Emma Frisch, Former Executive Director, PEAKS, Ithaca, NY
“As a result of working with Illume, the longer and shorter cycles of strategic planning are becoming interwoven into our organizational culture. Thank you!”
– Abbe Lyons, Former Executive Director, Ithaca Health Alliance, Ithaca NY
