TESTIMONIALS

"The United Way of Central Ohio leads our national network of organizations for our work with cultural competency. Dr. Hicks was the consultant that created our standards and managed our implementation process from start to finish. Strategically, her end goal is to think through all possibilities and achieve results. She is open and inviting, creating an inclusive path to all issues. By directly working with her, I have witnessed her proactive approach to identifying solutions, where they do not currently exist."
