“I started working with Trang when I began my role as the Senior Director of the Port of Seattle’s Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. Trang worked closely with me to help develop strategies and a plan for this first ever office at the Port of Seattle. She was instrumental in meeting, along with me, with many employees at the Port and multiple community groups and pulling the most critical threads of priorities from all of these conversations to include in the strategic plan. Trang’s commitment to equity and tackling the deep and complex layers of information has been instrumental in pulling together this comprehensive plan for the Port’s Office of Equity. I have worked with a lot of competent people in my years of leading large high profile organizations and Trang’s superb analytical skills, writing, commitment, and consistent delivery make her stand out as one of the best advisors I have worked with. I seek Trang’s advice often and I find that she applies her strategic thinking in identifying solutions forward.”

“We had the best board retreat because of the planning and preparation work Tu Consulting provided to our team. Thank you Trang for your amazing planning and facilitation of our board retreat.”

“Mary Queen of Vietnam Community Development Corporation was formed after Hurricane Katrina to provide direct assistance to the New Orleans East community in recovery and rebuilding. It continues to do so in light of the BP oil drilling disaster. To this end, MQVN CDC has repeatedly used the services of Tu Consulting for strategic planning, staff retreats, and community-based workshops. We are convinced that the success of many of our milestone achievements – including establishing the foundation for long-term recovery – would not have been possible without Trang’s assistance.”
