50 years is a wonderful achievement. It is my pleasure to work with Goettler Associates on two campaigns over the past 18 years. Goettler has been a tremendous help in supporting us to achieve our goals. It would not have been possible without your guidance, encouragement, and knowledge.
- Jan Chambers, Executive Director, Barnesville Hospital Foundation
“A HUGE and ringing endorsement for Goettler Associates. The firm directed the Library’s very successful capital campaign 10 years ago. After a competitive vetting process, we selected them again to do work this year. They just completed a campaign planning study for us for a major gift/endowment campaign. The final report was excellent, and very thorough. Mr. Goettler had good rapport with staff, elected officials and trustees – and that interpersonal magic should not be discounted. The community leaders he interviewed had good feedback on his professionalism.”
