"Mora consistently performs the work of at least two people while maintaining superior quality in all her work. When given even a broad task with little funding Mora has an uncanny way of becoming a force multiplier. "
"When we hired Mora as our Economic Development Director, our direction to her was to "move forward quickly", and boost economic development. She has done that and more "
CHERYL MAKI

MICHAEL DUFFY
BOARD CHAIR, LYME ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS
Michael and I worked closely together on the relaunch of the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts. When I was hired, one important strategic initiative was to re-connect and engage with the local community and develop the campus into a vibrant community hub and meeting place. After the first year the artistic directors desired a more monastic and cloistered campus, which is one of the reasons I decided to resign.
