“I wanted to take the time to thank you for hosting the Sheriff’s Wellness Meeting yesterday. The Sheriffs who attended mentioned it was one of the absolute best meetings they have attended with our federal partners. While the topic was certainly very heavy, they came away feeling recognized and refreshed, knowing that collectively we are working together on this issue. I will also say that it was one of the best-run meetings, and the entire staff and team who helped put this together should be commended.”

“Thank you for your support and guidance throughout this process—it’s been invaluable, and we’ve come a long way with your help! I have been honored to work beside both of you, and to be able to present this at a national level was truly an honor and highlight for me. Reading through everything again today, I realized this is just the beginning. I am not sure if this is exciting or overwhelming. But we have come this far and won't let off the gas quite so soon. We’ll use the monthly meetings to discuss and support local implementation plans.”

“You have no idea how helpful a visit like today is for us. It is so important for us to hear new ideas and perspectives.  We get so caught up in the day to day. Having you here to see the program and get a snapshot of what we do is instrumental to our continued work and progress. I appreciate you coming to rural WV in the middle of a natural disaster.  You could have easily canceled.  The fact that you didn’t and that you stepped in and worked along side us is very special. I really appreciate the support. I feel motivated that we can keep going and expanding the program. You both play a big role in that. Your support and guidance makes such a difference.”

“How can we ever thank you?!?!?  To be afforded this opportunity to meet and share what we’re doing with colleagues from so many places was INCREDIBLE!  You know how proud we are of what we have going on and to be able to share with others in truly invaluable.  Our corrections staff undoubtedly appreciated the attention as well.  As you saw, not only did we meet new people, we made new friends!  To be able to hear outside perspectives is so beneficial. You guys are so good at what you do and so many of us benefit from it!”

“Rulo Strategies has been extremely helpful in providing both training and technical assistance. Their team consistently offers thoughtful guidance on ways to improve our programs and shares valuable insight into other grantees' successes and challenges. They also provide access to useful templates and documents that other organizations are using effectively. Rulo Strategies is responsive to calls and emails, often replying promptly, and remains supportive of our efforts, even during challenging times when we, as grantees, may feel overwhelmed.”

“Thank you so much for all your work with us and on this report. It is terrific. In reading the report, I am so excited about how we can use the information in the report to bolster our communication with certain groups. One of the projects we are hoping to complete this year is creating informational flyers/packets designed to speak to each of the sectors we are hoping to work with. I think the section on partnerships will be so valuable in helping us to create these.”
