"This letter is being sent to express my thanks and appreciation for the outstanding work Health & Education Communication Consultants (HECC) provided in conducting and preparing the report Child Development Training Consortium Program Evaluation Report: A Longitudinal Analysis of Progress 1987-1993. In every instance, from the planning phase to the final report, thoroughness and attention to detail was evident. I was especially impressed with the ability of your firm to listen to input from the advisory committee and design a research strategy that would fulfill the evaluation goals. The task of sample selection was challenging and the process was handled with professionalism and tact. I would have no hesitation in recommending your firm to others and would confidently seek your assistance in the future."

-Sharon Hawley, Ph.D., Consultant, Child Development Division, California Department of Education

"As the Director of the California Healthy Cities Project, I have had the pleasure of working with the firm of Health and Education Communication Consultants (HECC). They were retained for a complex communication and education project which involved multiple components and required the use of several subcontractors for graphic design, the development of multi-media products and final production. The target audiences for these products are diverse in their professional backgrounds, thereby requiring highly skilled communication ability. In each aspect of our contract with HECC, they exhibited the highest degree of professionalism. I have found them to be highly skilled, thorough, conscientious, and efficient. They have been extremeley flexible regarding unanticipated changes--in timelines and in the direction of specific products--which became necessary during the course of the contract. HECC has my unqualified endorsement and highest recommendation."

-Joan M. Twiss, Founder and Executive Director, Center for Civic Partnerships

"Thank you for the outstanding work that you performed for our Department and for our oversight committee, the Tobacco Education & Research Oversight Committee (TEROC). I have been impressed with the skills and abilities that you have brought to the projects, your knowledge of government, public health and education, which seemed to give you the understanding and ability to 'step in and go with it.' You were effective in communicating and working with the disparate membership on the TEROC and TCS staff, each of whom have definite beliefs on what should be in the documents and how the issues should be framed. Your strong ability to communicate was evident in your writing, and we were pleased with the presentation and layout of the material. The bottom line, the principals and the users are happy with the final documents."

-William E. Ruppert, Tobacco Control Section, California Department of Health Services (Ret)
