Elaine Robbins Harris developed and facilitated a two day retreat for the Executive Staff of Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. The retreat theme was Empowering the Team for Effective Change Management. “It was a powerful, highly interactive session that fostered lively discourse and open sharing of experiences, insights and ideas. The entire Executive Staff commented that they appreciated the opportunity to convene in a stimulating environment, learn from one another, build on their strengths and determine next steps to address my vision for the department and the necessary changes to support that vision”

Erwin McEwen, Director, Illinois Department of Children and Family Services


Dear Ms. Harris

In reviewing the materials from our recent Executive Staff retreat, it brought to mind all of the hard work which you expended on our behalf in making the Retreat such a success. I just wanted to add my thanks for a job well done. I know that a lot of time goes into facilitating a get-together such as ours, and from the positive comments which I’ve heard from others, your diligent execution was deeply appreciated by all who participated.

Most sincerely,

Dixie Lee Peterson,
