“Linda and the team at LBG Associates have been with us since Day 1 and played an integral role helping us design an award-winning corporate citizenship program.  Their knowledge and expertise proved invaluable in helping us craft our overall strategy, as well as specific community investment and employee engagement initiatives.  The on-going support and guidance is something that I and my leadership have come to value and rely on, regularly.  They aren’t just consultants – they are trusted advisors that we consider key members of our team.” — Director, Community Investment, Fortune 250 Oil and Gas Company

“Linda has played a major role in developing our company’s volunteer program. From designing the program, writing the guidelines, preparing a resource manual and working with the outside database vendor, Linda has been here for us every step of the way.” — Corporate Public Affairs Manager, Fortune 250 Waste Management Company

“Linda has worked with us since the beginning of our corporate citizenship program. She helped us establish the strategic direction of our foundation, design an award-winning education signature program, and sourced many of our most important strategic partnerships. She has contributed to our success in numerous ways and continues to provide insightful counsel.”— Foundation President, Financial Services Company

“Through her research with senior managers, our associates and community leaders, Linda and her team at LBG Associates helped us develop a strong and meaningful community involvement program that effectively aligns with our business goals, generates measurable benefits for the community and supports our employees’ interests. LBG Associates provided guidance as much as results, with excellent follow-up. The customized attention they gave our project ensured the results effectively matched our company’s culture and business model. Not only did we gain the desired outcome, but it was a highly instructive experience for us all, and we now have a newfound and deep appreciation for what it means to have a highly strategic community outreach program. This bonus–a crash course in corporate giving best practices–was unexpected, and was one of the most valuable benefits of the partnership. It was a pleasure working with every member of the LBG team.” — Community Relations Group Manager, Fortune Global 500 Retail Bank

“Linda Gornitsky offers perspective and experience that can help any organization improve its community involvement strategy. This backed by her flexibility, timeliness and sharp insights make LBG Associates the ‘go to source’ for a variety of CSR-related matters.”— Senior Director, Global Community Affairs, Fortune 250 Global Engineering and Construction Company

“Working with Linda and her team has been very rewarding. Not only have they helped design our strategic community outreach program, including both the giving and volunteering components, and trained our staff, but Linda has also been invaluable in helping us gain the endorsement and commitment of senior management. I truly value her expertise and knowledge and the individual attention we get. LBG Associates is a wonderful resource as we move forward. Linda is a SUPERSTAR!!!” — Assistant VP, Corporate Social Responsibility, Fortune 500 Transportation Company
“Linda has been an invaluable resource to me and my staff on the process of establishing a more strategic and focused approach to our community outreach efforts. Her guidance has enabled me to restructure the program and her training has ensured that my staff understands the direction we need to follow. I truly appreciate that she is always there for me.”— Director of Strategic Partnerships, Fortune 500 Urban Utility Holding Company
“In their extensive portfolio of corporate clients, LBG Associates identified us as a prime candidate for an innovative partnership to create the first in the nation, data analytics program for girls from low income communities. Not only has the program been a huge success—girls who take it perform better in math—it has created a new strategic path for the organization which includes a greater emphasis on STEM and digitizing more of our programs to be available nationwide, even globally.

Since then she has brought even more industry contacts and leading edge opportunities, best practices, and real-world solutions to the complex and intricate challenges we face in helping girls from poor communities complete high school and finish college.

Linda is also expert in the evaluation process and outcomes arena. We gained first-hand knowledge of our challenges through the evaluation process she developed, as well as solutions that were not always visible from our vantage point. We’re most fortunate to have discovered Linda and LBG Associates. She is an extraordinary asset to us.” — CEO, New York City Education Nonprofit
