ABOUT TUFT: “I appreciated the one-on-one communication and guidance that the Tuft consultants, Jill Christie and Mary Nowesnick, offered me along the way. It felt like a trusted partnership, and I enjoyed working with their team of professionals. Tuft was a major asset to our Board of Directors along the way, as well. Our Board is a volunteer board, and Tuft recognized and appreciated that. The BOC Board worked diligently with the Tuft team who helped them every step of the way.

“Having the Tuft team’s expertise and guidance was invaluable. They were always there to answer any questions and work with me side-by-side along the way. By the time I was selected as a candidate and began the interview process, I was well-prepared and knew what to expect.”
