Evergreen expanded in many different areas over the years of Becky’s leadership and it was her insight, thoughtfulness, attention to detail and willingness to work as a team player and team leader that allows us as board members to proudly hold up our heads for the reputation that Evergreen has, not only in our local community, but throughout the entire state.

Becky has been a strong leader at Evergreen and created a capable team that will carry on their important work. I always admired Becky’s willingness to “tackle” the hard and heavy issues.  She has my utmost respect and admiration!   Miigwech for all she’s done for the community!

I have had the privilege to work with Rebecca as an Evergreen board member and community professional over the last nine years. During that time our agency went through a tremendous amount of growth and change. During Rebecca’s tenure with the agency she was responsible for obtaining, organizing and leading the agency through millions of dollars in funding to provide programming and services to the highest risk and most vulnerable youth in our community. Rebecca has many strengths, most notably her selfless determination, integrity and heart to put clients and her community above all else.

It was an honor to work for Evergreen and to have Becky as my supervisor. I had the opportunity to work under her supervision at Evergreen Youth & Family Services from 2006 through 2010.   She worked tirelessly on multiple grants that enabled Evergreen to serve many youth and families in the Bemidji area.  Her grant writing skills are superb, detailed and effective.

"I was very impressed by the fact that although she was one of my youngest staff, she handled the responsibility of a major campaign well and was highly effective at building strong working relationships with national YMCA board members and major donors, CEOs from multi-million budget YMCAs around the country as well as very small YMCAs, YMCA retirees, and other volunteers and donors who were critical to the campaign’s success."  Sam Evans, Director-International Division, YMCA of the USA

"Becky is a top notch staff person and my advice is 'don’t let her get away.'  You can rely on the fact that she is 100{fc6ceb31d80ec6fabac42d0f5acbad593f1794ee702287db734e3a34db1da57f} committed to her work, and she is highly dependable. As a former bank manager and current executive manager of an organization with several hundred staff, I always say there are no “risk free” employees.  But I think Becky comes pretty close."  Sam Evans, Director-International Division, YMCA of the USA

Becky has an exemplary work ethic and high standards for productivity. She can process an incredible volume of work. Her grant writing skills are among the best in the non-profit business. As driven as she is, she did not go it alone.  Becky is adept at project management. She cultivated her colleague's strengths and delegated tasks to achieve great outcomes. Becky adhered to a team model and encouraged healthy debate and consensual decision-making among the board of directors, management team, and program staff. Becky welcomed constructive criticism to enhance the quality of her work.

The step-by-step components of grantwriting are easily laid out. You are very knowledgeable and this was educational. You know your stuff, Becky! Thanks for everything!

I have a much better understanding of the verbiage and time put into a grant. If my supervisor asks me a question about a grant, now I feel I’d be better able to answer and assist them.

I really liked going through the scoring sheets and budgets, the lists of resources, and that there were a lot of tips on writing grants. Thank you for your knowledge. This was very informative and could have been a two-day training.

I learned that grantwriting involves steps prior to the start of writing. I think previous grants were hard for me because I started writing too soon - before I had gathered data and before I even fully read the grant info. and requirements. Lesson learned…

I was overwhelmed with helping write my first grant. Now I look forward to writing the next one with all the knowledge I gained from today. It was nice having things explained. The examples provided are great! Thank you – this was very helpful.

I am taking home a better understanding of common grant terminology and the benefit of a workplan and logic model. Thank you – it is evident that you are a content expert with this!

The staff grant review group will be very helpful. Very good seminar…more actual hands-on information than other workshops I have attended.

As a newbie to grantwriting, the course was very informative, beginning with the basics through how to complete grant attachments. The handouts will be a super helpful resource. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!
