"I can wholeheartedly recommend the services of Golden Square..."

During my tenure, as a fellow and Board Member of IOMC, I can truly state that Deborah Hodges and Golden Square is fundamental to the success of IOMC. Golden Square is independent of IOMC but is integral to IOMC’s functioning. Golden Square is a woman-owned business. This business provides a variety of services such as programmatic support, integrated marketing, grant writing, event planning, and operations management, and many other services. Golden Square is able to seamlessly integrate with IOMC. Thus, I can wholeheartedly recommend the services of Golden Square.

"Deborah skillfully got things in order..."

Deborah has the unique ability to understand the big picture and is equally as masterful at staying on top of the details. Deborah jumped up with limited ramp-in during a busy time and quickly began to make a difference. Deborah skillfully got things in order, built confidence with the client, and among colleagues as well, and did it all while maintaining a pleasant demeanor. I would welcome an opportunity to work with Deborah again.
