In Good Company
The Alumni Engagement Team at Princeton University has worked with Elizabeth Murphy since February 2018 on a variety of board development projects. I have found Elizabeth’s work to be superb. She takes the time to truly understand what each of the groups would like to accomplish and the barriers to achieving these goals. She is timely, helpful and a wealth of knowledge in the board service arena. Thus far Elizabeth has worked with two of my alumni volunteer boards, and the results have been unparalleled. Each group has taken their board functionality to the next level, making leaps and bounds from where they were prior to working with Elizabeth. She has created thoughtful, customized and innovative programming for the two very distinct groups. From full day board retreats, to one-on-one coaching with board officers, Elizabeth delivers exactly what you ask for and much more. Further, Elizabeth has been able to earn the groups’ trust, which is key to an effective working relationship. I would recommend Elizabeth’s services without hesitation if you are looking to make significant improvements in board function and effectiveness.

I have known Elizabeth Murphy for thirty years, and in that time I have never met a more insightful strategist, intuitive facilitator, creative thinker and deep listener. Elizabeth and I have worked together in many different roles throughout the years, and she just has the gift of inspiring people and encouraging them to work together, even in the most difficult of circumstances. She knows how to bring people and organizations closer to realizing their vision, and she is equally adept at working with non-profit organizations and foundations on strategies, and at coaching individuals to help them achieve their career and personal goals. Elizabeth is the first person I think of when asked for a recommendation by my colleagues or by one of our grantees. And, she is an absolute delight to work with on any project.

In the days following Hurricane Sandy, I knew I needed a strategist who could quickly grasp the overwhelming challenges my organization and members were facing, and also stay fluid and responsive to the changing needs and dynamic nature of the recovery. Elizabeth's ability to work as both "architect and builder" enabled the Council of New Jersey Grantmakers to respond to this crisis in a substantive, resourceful and highly-effective manner.
~ Nina Stack, President, The Champlain Foundation (formerly President, Council of New Jersey Grantmakers)
"I needed an objective facilitator to guide a strategic conversation with national colleagues focused on a big idea with a lot of unknowns. A trusted and respected foundation executive director recommended Elizabeth based on her past experiences, so we hired her. Elizabeth’s ability to synthesize the context, understand the competing priorities and sensitively facilitate our meeting helped us build consensus and momentum for the next steps."
Mike Ritz, Executive Director, Leadership Rhode Island
