"Mr. Bright is set apart because he brings a sincere ability to listen and communicate clear direct action plans with compassion and sensitivity in regards to all aspects of a non-profit organization. His genuine personality, passion, and knowledge are apparent from the first handshake, and continue seamlessly throughout his time with your organization."

"I hired Ship to help with our development activities, but in the process, he offered counsel on a wide range of topics, including how to be more effective with my board. For our board members Ship helped clarify the roles of board members vs. staff and provided reassurance that the issues we faced were not unique to our organization. I can’t recommend Ship Bright and BrightNGOsolutions highly enough."

Bicycle Coalition of Maine
