This is not your typical "cookie cutter" plan. It is a usable, ever-evolving plan with specific strategies that truly reflects our community and audiences. We are extremely excited to see what we can do with the tools you've given us. Thank you so much for making my job easier."
    GRANT MCGALLIARD, CHIEF COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER, BAY CITY INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

Our partnership has been a great gift to this organization. It will have a lasting impact, indeed. I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the Burnam | Gray team."
    - BELINDA FLORES SIMONS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, SU CASA DE ESPERANZA

  • “The entire report that Burnam | Gray wrote based off of our community focus group and general observations is incredible. I am so impressed with how eloquently you told the story. The themes in the report will definitely help me as I consider the mission, vision, beliefs and profile for our school. I cannot emphasize how grateful I am to have your support. Truly amazing!”
    TERI SILVA, PRINCIPAL, PERALES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, CITY EDUCATION PARTNERS' INNOVATIVE SCHOOL FELLOW

  • "Thank you, Burnam | Gray, for a dynamic strategic planning session with our Board of Directors and staff in July 2018. Our group was delighted with your ability to get the room thinking, talking and planning together toward a common strategic vision. Our organization will now have a strong five-year plan to direct our strategy. We are ready to hit the ground running using this plan in January 2019."
    STEPHANIE CASH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HILL COUNTRY CASA

  • "Thank you so much, Burnam | Gray! It IS exciting to see these ideas come to life! This would not have happened at all without you and the (amazing) work you are doing. There are a million and one “Good Idea Fairies” out there in our community who say, "Hey! I have an idea--have you thought of doing X?" And there is simply no capacity for "doing" X. So thank you for creating that capacity now and for the future."
    MINKA MISANGYI, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, GIRLS ON THE RUN OF BEXAR COUNTY
