Testimonial for SDG Advisors from:
Sister Angelita Zawada, OSU
President of the Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland
Pepper Pike, Ohio

On Sr. Ritamary Welsh, OSU:

“I’ve known Ritamary as part of the Ursuline community for more than 40 years and have watched her in many ministries. If she says she’s going to do something, she’ll do it.

She has a great gift for finding new answers to old questions. She knows how to launch a project -- putting together a master plan with all the steps needed to bring that project to a successful conclusion.

She’s a delightful person to work with and has more ‘sticktuitiveness’ than super glue. She really doesn’t give up on a project. When she sets her mind to something, it happens.

She comes with a great deal of expertise in fundraising as well as an understanding of the inner workings of parishes, grade schools and high schools.”

On Stacey Picard:

“I’ve known Stacey through Beaumont School for the past three years. She has a great understanding of financial intricacies. While we served on Beaumont’s Finance Committee together, Stacey demonstrated the ability to organize complex financial data in such a way that it can be understood by a non-financial person.”

On Ritamary and Stacey as a Team:

“Together, Ritamary -- with her practical expertise -- and Stacey -- with financial expertise – make an outstanding team. They work well in a consulting setting as an on-site team to effectively work through an institution’s challenges and issues.

They have the ability to take a project through to completion and know how to ask the difficult questions. They’re not afraid to explore new possibilities on how to answer those difficult questions.”
