Unlike many consultants with whom I have worked, Henry provides a unique balance of creative strategic thinking and hands-on implementation. Furthermore, based on his deep understanding of the Playhouse and its mission, Henry provided strategic objectives that allowed me, the new chief development officer, to successfully transition into my new position and establish appropriate priorities during my first year on the job. Based on this record of achievement, I would unhesitatingly recommend Young Associates to any potential client. | Read full letterJames Forbes

…Henry makes the rest of us feel so lazy. I think we all owe Henry a large part of this great victory.
