“I recently hosted a two-day NCI training class for 35 GSA project managers, representing each of GSA's eleven regional offices. Bill taught the group insightful concepts, tools, and techniques for incorporating public input into the design of federal projects. As part of the course, we used a series of ongoing GSA projects, which included new courthouses, border stations, and area plans. Bill taught the course in an interactive way and was quite responsive to the needs of these federal projects and their peculiar set of parameters. He presented a nuanced and adaptable approach that was of tremendous value to our project managers. We intend to implement the plans that we developed for these projects during the class and I intend to host additional NCI workshops for other GSA audiences in the near future. I would recommend NCI and Bill Lennertz without reservation for this type of work.”

“Since the training, we conducted several charrettes that have successfully engaged the public in the creation of our countywide master plans while achieving our original goal of reducing our time line. I strongly recommend NCI’s certification training as a solid investment that will increase team productivity, heighten the quality of planning products and improve the public’s trust in the community planning process.”

"Members of my staff and I attended the "Introduction to Dynamic Planning" seminar and we all felt that we immediately gained knowledge that we can use to improve our work. We attended specifically to gain an understanding of the process for application to our groundbreaking zoning ordinance rewrite here in Maryland, which will include a mandatory Charrette process. The course gave me everything I needed and more. Thank you really for all of your unbelievable help and assistance."
