Mission: The Plains Conservation Center (PCC) exists to bring the natural wonder of the prairie into the realm of personal experience. PCC is a newly incorporated non-profit that spun off from a government entity.

“Our stakeholders were confused about who we were.”

– Tudi Arneill, Executive Director

  • This board was new to the nonprofit world and Shelli helped us understand what nonprofit board responsibilities are and kept these responsibilities in front of us.
  • This strategic planning effort was different — we analyzed our strategic goals and where they were taking us. It helped us think about our work critically and efficiently and we’re still using that strategic analysis today — two years later.
  • I really enjoyed working with Shelli. She’s been an ongoing resource for me and the board president. She has been there for us above and beyond the contract.
  • I don’t believe we would have headed down this path, and made such an audacious decision, if we didn’t have the confidence in Shelli and Conservation Impact.
