This has been, by far, the most comprehensive and thought provoking process that I have been involved with. Joy and her team will challenge conventional thinking, push creative ideas and solutions that are realistic to achieve, and ensure that established timelines are adhered to. Joy and her team at Lord built several intervals for both community input and debriefs as we moved forward with the plan development. Now that Weeksville is entering the implementation phase, we view Joy and Lord as an integral part of the success of this work, therefore we have added Joy and the team as our Strategic plan implementation consultant for at least the next 6 months. Joy was masterful in structuring the conversations and identifying co-chairs to ensure the focus always remained in the purpose at hand, Weeksville. "

I can't tell you how it feels to be receiving this beautifully designed document with so much of the Rancho's future wrapped up in its contents. It has been quite a journey and so gratifying to see the hopes and dreams of many people presented on these pages. Thank you for all your wisdom and gentle encouragement to bring this to fruition."

The planning work that Lord Cultural Resources has done for the Natural History Museum of Utah has been critical to our success. A master plan for the Museum analyzed our physical facilities, market, collections, and programs and laid the foundation for the work that led to the construction of the new building, the Rio Tinto Center. Their business planning provided a road map for the successful operation of the Museum prior to and after opening the new building. And the strategic plan set direction for the Museum after its transformation from a small academic museum to a large, community-based institution."

The contribution of Lord Cultural Resources to the American Indian Cultural Center & Museum project is immeasurable. Your services have enabled our project team to understand and implement the goals of a successful Cultural Center that will serve to communicate our mission in a meaningful way, as well as create awareness among all people of the viewpoint, experience and contribution of American Indians past and present."

Lord played an integral role in ensuring that Ontario House was completed on time and under budget. Throughout the project, the team was enthusiastic, creative and results-driven. I would gladly and whole-heartedly recommend Lord Cultural Resources for future projects."

The services of Lord Cultural Resources team have been just exemplary from start to finish: the conception of the project goals; the clear communication to both Board and Management of the planning process and their respective roles; the intelligence the team brought to the benchmarking and research work; the facilitation of the board and staff retreat dates; and the final drafting of the plan."

We will be forever grateful to you for helping us ‘reach for the stars’ and making the dream of the Canadian Museum of Human Rights become a reality."

Longwood Gardens chose Lord Cultural Resources as its planning partner, because it was the only firm that could truly provide the depth and quality of comprehensive planning services that we needed to achieve our planning goal.
