Testimonial
“Tim and Nancy comprise a powerful combination of talent, expertise, and experience making real change happen. They are change agents, strategists, influencers, trainers, authors, and leaders who understand both organizational behavior and cross-sector collective impact.”
Patrick Jinks,
President & Certified Leadership & Strategy Coach, The Jinks Perspective
Former President and CEO, United Way of Danville & Pittsylvania County
“Drs. Tim and Nancy Franklin arrived in Danville just after the City had undergone tremendous losses of its key industrial base and was frighteningly close to total desperation regarding its economic future. They exerted steady, firm pressure to build a culture that has welcomed twenty-first century technology and has built a winning attitude among both the City’s leaders and the vast majority of its people. The vision that the Franklins brought to Danville nearly two decades ago is today the real essence of the community.”
Linwood Wright,
Former Mayor, City of Danville, Virginia
Chairman, Future of the Piedmont Foundation
Founding Chairman, Institute for Advanced Learning and Research Board of Trustees
“Tim and Nancy Franklin have invested decades in building regional economic capacity, with demonstrated results in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Strategic intent, fresh big ideas, new money, frameworks for collaboration, and a focus on doing and outcomes are in the Franklin DNA.”
