  • I am simply writing to tell you that it was great working with you at HOPE. You are a consummate professional, hardworking, and such a bright, warm person. I will miss you, as will all the volunteers (and many of the paid staff) who got the opportunity to work with you.

  • Michele Glik brings the rare combination of strategic fundraising expertise and deep understanding of synagogue life. She quickly helped Temple Beth Abraham translate big ideas into a clear, actionable plan and gave our leadership the tools and confidence to move forward. Michele is thoughtful, practical, and incredibly effective. She knows how to guide volunteer leaders, build momentum, and keep a project moving in the right direction. Working with Michele and Samarah Consulting has been a tremendous asset for our congregation.
