MIL’s reputation for stability and easy working relationships, begun at the Department of Energy over 25 years ago, has grown to 400+ engagements across 17 Federal agencies. Unlike many other federal consultants, MIL staff becomes members of their clients’ teams, working together to achieve common goals. They stay with projects for the long-term and learn their client agency’s business inside and out. MIL has supported the State Department and the Navy for the past 18 years, and they still provide service to the DOE. Through an ongoing relationship that began in 2004, I’ve supported MIL in developing client deliverables, proposals, marketing collateral, and newsletter articles.

Joy at balloons

“Joy worked with us to prepare a large, multi-part proposal to a federal agency. Her participation allowed me and others on the team to focus on collecting appropriate information rather than worrying about how we are would put the information in the proposal. Her strong knowledge of the proposal development process allowed her to grasp what needed to be done and start work very quickly. She has a knack for taking random pieces of information and organizing them in a meaningful way into a cohesive document. Because of Joy’s services, we were able to create our portion of the proposal relatively quickly. It went to through the least amount of changes during our internal review process.

Not only does Joy provide excellent writing services, she demonstrated excellent communication with us throughout the process. She kept us in the loop about her schedule and other commitments and was able to work around them to meet our schedule. She was committed to getting the assignment done properly and on time and, in fact, did so. She demonstrated excellent knowledge of office tools such as Microsoft Word and was able to provide additional comments and suggestions on the document beyond the minimum we requested of her. I would absolutely recommend Joy’s services to other companies and government agencies.”

	Associated Ministers www.associatedministers.com Associated Ministers is a network of ordained clergy persons and ministers who provide personalized wedding and other services to suit individual client needs. None of their ministers are “mail order” ministers; all are licensed and/or ordained in their denominations. In operation since 1998, Associated Ministers was born from a sympathy for couples who wanted more than a justice of the peace for their weddings, but were having difficulty finding clergy who would perform wedding ceremonies outside their own churches. The service began informally by identifying and keeping in touch with ministers who were willing to help such couples; eventually it grew into an established organization - Associated Ministers - as it exists today. My work with Associated Ministers included developing text for portions of its website, preparing copy for marketing collateral such as brochures and fact sheets, and writing sample wedding ceremonies.
