Keres Consulting Testimonials

"Do keep up the good work. As far as the Center for Domestic Preparedness goes, I have been in contact with a couple of the folks and they all agree that Keres is doing a fantastic job (professionalism, being informative and providing quality work). They are pleased."

"Keres is mature in business and exceptional in its ability to deliver quality, schedule-compliant environmental assessment services. In addition, Keres analyzes policy and program issues of interest to the Native American community. Keres has been instrumental in the development of DoD's American Indian and Alaska Native Policy and Instruction, and DoD's new Instruction, Consultation With Native Hawaiian Organizations."

"One of the best firms I've ever worked with. They were fanatic in making sure the Coast Guard was getting the product we needed. They provided a service that added true value to the Coast Guard's real property management. This company should be a model for the 8(a) program."

“We are pleased to report that Office of Hawaiian Affairs staff is already hearing from the community about positive results from the Department of Defense Native Hawaiian Consultation Policy and Cultural Communication Course. The initial review is the policy and course are achieving the intended improved communications and mutually respectful relationships, and we believe meaningful consultation between DoD and the Native Hawaiian community is much more likely to occur across installations.”

"I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoyed the class on Friday!  Your insights were invaluable to my understanding of Native American culture and communication and I benefitted tremendously. Many thanks… for providing us information that my Team and I can use as we consult with the tribes that may be affected by operations on White Sand Missile Range."

"Thank you for your support of the work that goes on with the Grantees. The involvement of Keres makes a huge difference in building better relationships and understanding with the New Mexico Indian Affairs Department."
