 “I have now spent time going through the document.  You have really done all and more than we expected (or indeed paid you for).  It is up to us now”.

 “It has been an absolute pleasure working with you. I know of very few program co-ordinators who I could rely upon and trust as much as I have with you. If there was anything I needed to ask, I knew where to call and that I’d get a cogent answer, even if it was ‘I don’t know, but I’ll find out.’ It all makes researchers’ lives so much easier and the agency gets a better research product at the end of it. Simple? It should be!”.
(Dr Matthew Colloff, CSIRO Entomology, Defeating the Weed Menace R&D Project Leader, November 2009)

“Really pleased with this report - many thanks for pulling it all together.
Heather - what a task with your follow up - well done.
This report will tick many boxes... and I completely concur with your recommendations and can only hope that we have the opportunity to follow it up.
It is an excellent baseline to report to the HN CMA, Advisory Committee, links to workshop 3, Caring for Our Country etc... etc... Many thanks!!”.

“Over the past three years we have worked with Community Solutions to help us develop community based guidelines for the management and protection of Roebuck Bay. Having worked with CS elsewhere, we were confident they could assist us in this ambitious project that involved many divergent views, competing interests and a unique cultural diversity. There were two deciding factors in our choice of Community Solutions: they bring a willingness and flexibility to successfully engage Aboriginal people and processes, and their ability to enable people to develop their own solutions in the spirit of understanding and respect”.
(Tanya Vernes, Program Officer, Integrated Landscape Management, WWF Australia, Jan 2007)

“We have worked with Community Solutions on a number of occasions over a ten year period. Jane and Judy's considerable experience in community-based conservation processes has enabled us to focus on the end point of each project in the knowledge that the path to that end point was in expert hands”.
(Nicola Marcus PhD, Program Leader-Species, WWF Australia, 11 April 2005)
