β€œI have had the honor and privilege of working with High Impact Partners (HIP) since 2010. Susan Shorters is a dynamic and dedicated professional who truly cares about her clients. This commitment to making an impact inspired me to partner with her and support the transition of Performance Excellence Partners’ 8(a) contracts to HIP. Our partnership continues on those projects and we have since joined forces on numerous other grantee support contracts. HIP continues to be a trusted and go-to partner. We are thrilled with HIP’s success and wish HIP and Susan much more in the future!”
