Your work as Interim Executive Director has been absolutely transformational. Your intelligent, purposeful, and caring leadership has enabled us to move PFLAG forward in so many areas. Chuck Middleton, PFLAG National Board Member & Past President, Roosevelt University
Kathy Taylor Gaubatz has had a powerful influence on my career and my view of leadership. Kathy hired me into my very first job in the nonprofit sector, and I worked for her directly and indirectly for the next seven years in three different roles. Kathy is tremendously insightful, and every day I worked alongside her sharpened my own thinking. She’s a compassionate but strong leader, who makes people feel cared for and appreciated while also holding them accountable. She’s a pillar of integrity who stands up for what’s right, even when it’s unpopular. Kathy is deeply dedicated to her profession, and she has been a source of guidance and inspiration for me. Ed Batista, Executive Coach and Lecturer, Stanford University, Graduate School of Business
An interim ED plays such a vital role in the nonprofit ecosystem. It reminds me of the saying about wise elders who "plant trees under whose shade they know they shall never sit". In the months leading up to my arrival, Kathy was busy laying the groundwork for my success. Every day, I discover another of her seedlings which has taken root at WEC. John Odenwelder, Executive Director, Washington English Center
The report looks great. I am very happy with the magic you have created… You have been extremely helpful to me in a lot of ways. Gail Avent, Executive Director, Total Family Care Coalition
You did an outstanding job. We accomplished in one day what we have not been able to accomplish in two years. G.W. Thompson, Wesley Community Service Center Board of Directors
You created a comfortable environment where we felt free to speak our minds. You made sure that we stayed focused on the topic at hand, and if we strayed too far for too long you tactfully guided us back. The entire session was a rewarding experience for us. Jim Hughes, Institute for Learning in Retirement Board of Directors
