Jed did a great job helping deliver votes for the Land Bond. His energy and enthusiasm, commitment to grassroots organizing, and strategic judgment would be an asset to any campaign.

As Executive Director of the Maine Small Business Alliance, I hired Jed Rathband and Stone's Throw Consulting to manage a legislative outreach strategy on key advocacy priorities for the organization in the winter of 2005. Stone's Throw not only delivered on our goals in managing the project but also identified additional strategic opportunities for the organization beyond the initial contract scope. Jed was available, flexible and responsive at every point along the way taking appropriate initiative where necessary. A strong team-player, Jed has a collaborative instinct, seeking input for his ideas and at the same time is proactive in his recommendations for action. It would be my pleasure to work with Jed and Stone's Throw Consulting again on any number of community outreach and advocacy activities.
