Here’s what our clients are saying about us…
“From the get-go, they were responsive, insightful, dedicated to our needs, thought outside the box, exposed our strengths and weaknesses, developed a plan that would be evidence-based, and provided our board of directors with meaningful, trustworthy facts and recommendations based on thorough outreach within the Palm Beach community and our constituents.
Because of their superb efforts, we have been able to reorganize ourselves, develop a new “mission statement” and focus, and remain viable within these changing times.
I cannot speak more highly about PJL Associates and would be available to any and all if called upon as a reference.”

“I want to thank Ms. PJ Layng for the development consulting work her company has provided to us since October 2018. Her commitment to advancing the mission of Oxbridge was critical to us achieving record fundraising in the 2018-2019 school year. She and her team have worked tirelessly to raise critical funding needed for us to deliver a world-class education to our students.”

“What sets PJL Associates apart from other consulting firms is the team concept they use when establishing the work they are requested to do on behalf of the client. In our case it was strategic planning and development consulting work, including board governance on behalf of Vita Nova, Inc. Their commitment to working with our CEO, senior leadership and our Board was invaluable, and the team assigned to our organization fit the bill in every way, including coaching and governance.”

Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Vita Nova, Inc.
“PJL Associates asked us about our interests and concerns and listened carefully to our answers. They brought us ideas that met our philanthropic interests, then did the research that fleshed out the idea we preferred. They brought together the decision-makers to greenlight the project, then followed through with a giving opportunity and a path for our continued involvement. This led to our making a significant Capital Campaign gift for a successfully realized theatre project that we feel great about.”

“PJL Associates has totally transformed our non-profit. Providing organization and structure were two key elements that PJL Associates employed to help in our transformation. This took the shape of gathering data from the community (informational interviews), inserting a Senior Leadership model into our organizational chart, engaging the Board of Directors effectively, and coordinating fundraising efforts. All of these efforts culminated in a new 5-year strategic plan that we (Board and staff) are very proud of and that we reference on a weekly basis.”
Jeff DeMario
CEO, Vita Nova, Inc.
“PJ Layng provided both excellent professional advice and leadership in the planning and execution of critical fundraising efforts in support of both the development of the Provincetown International Film Festival and the long-awaited building of the Provincetown Theater. At all levels, her commitment, energy and ability to just get things done often made the difference between failure and success.”
