"Jennifer is truly a leader in the field of collaborative coalition work. When working together in Kentucky, under Jennifer’s leadership, our cancer coalition grew from 20 partners to over 50 organizations. More importantly, we began to prioritize population health – taking on policy and systems change efforts that had much greater impact. Jennifer was able to identify and draw out the strengths of each partner at the table, which changed the tone of the entire coalition. Instead of getting ‘stuck’ on barriers or gaps, each partner could see their defined role and how their efforts were necessary to move the coalition forward."

“Jennifer’s combination of skills, knowledge, and experience is hard to find in a niche field like coalition building. She knows the work, has studied the issues, has honed the skills, and guides others to success in a clear and approachable manner. Jennifer has helped our coalition improve how it meets, plans, and grows, and most importantly, how it works together.”

“Dr. Redmond Knight has an iconic and rare set of coalition experiences to draw upon for any coalition. She has been instrumental to the Arkansas Cancer Coalition (ACC) by engaging our coalition members as the facilitator of the Arkansas Cancer Summit. She has coached us through the Arkansas Cancer Plan update process by providing pertinent content and strategies to advance our cancer control goals. The skills and techniques I have learned through her guide to coalition building blog has helped us sustain and increase partnerships to reduce the burden of cancer in Arkansas. I am so thankful to have Dr. Redmond Knight a part of our ACC family.”

“Dr. Jennifer Knight joined us last year to work with our team at the Missouri Colorectal Cancer Roundtable, a diverse group of stakeholders who are committed to improving colorectal screening in the state of Missouri. Her ability to facilitate, energize and engage our efforts together as physicians, public health leaders, policy advocates, providers and educators was remarkable. We developed timely goals and organized our calls and gatherings to maximize our efficiency. She truly lives up to her reputation to make others work together to make a bigger impact as a group than as individuals.”

““Coalitions are all about relationships which can be rewarding but also hard to navigate at times. Jennifer’s work with the Nebraska Cancer Coalition helped us to think about ways we could work to bring our partners together and have more of an impact in our state. Her insight and knowledge of how coalitions work was invaluable, and I would recommend her to others who are struggling to bring their coalition to the next level."”
