“Myrtle Habersham is a multi-talented professional who played an important role in expanding the outreach of the Rosalynn Carter Institute here at Georgia Southwestern. She came to us highly recommended by one of our most successful alums, who told me, “If you want something done, Myrtle is the one who can make it happen.” Truer words were never spoken. Ms. Habersham is a planner, problem solver, and motivator. She is also a very personable networker who is well-known and highly respected across the South. In helping us confront several of the challenges we faced in the RCI, she always knew who to call, where to go, and how to ask. She got the results we wanted and then some. Her work for us made a significant difference and I would recommend her without qualification to any organization seeking outside help in its efforts to meet its strategic goals.”

“I have worked with Myrtle Habersham for several years on a volunteer board that coordinates resources for caregivers in our community. I have found Myrtle to be a committed, focused and insightful member of the board. Myrtle listens and contributes during strategic development, is always willing to accept appropriate responsibility, coordinates and cooperates well with other stakeholders, and engages in the implementation of the vision with enthusiasm and energy. In her role as a business consultant my expectation is that Myrtle will bring these same attributes to bear in an effective way to enable increased effectiveness in any organization that utilizes her services.“
