"Thank you for your amazing efforts in bringing the Stars and Stripes weekend to life in a very compelling manner.  I must admit that I was a bit skeptical that we could pull off the scope and magnitude of what was presented at our first meeting, but you delivered big time!  Your efforts really brought the weekend thematic to life in a powerful way and in the process we drove a lot of fan excitement, while honoring so many well deserving individuals.  What was particularly gratifying was the substantial media coverage the programming received as we love leveraging our platform to highlight the noble work of others in the community."

David-1 vs. Golliath-O

While many people believed foreign-owned multi-$billion North Point Development's proposed 2,200-acre trucking facility was a "done deal," Erin's efforts as an area resident have been widely praised as contributing factor to the successful defeat of this wrong project. Erin voluntarily helped her neighbors articulate their voice on a grassroots, 1-to-1 level, which ultimately persuaded a brave Elwood Village Board to recognize the bad deal NorthPoint offered. Erin investigated NorthPoint's Kansas facility to learn to what was really happening there. She also orchestrated an unprecedented January tractor and military vehicle protest parade. With Johnny-on-the-spot facts and contacts, a solid reputation for fairness and accuracy, plus broad understanding of finance and local government, Erin will bring the same dedication, savvy and moxy to her clients' projects -- a true community liaison!
