• "If I had to choose one leader, one colleague, one mentor, one friend, I would choose Ms. Melanie Sittler without hesitation and also without regret. I cannot recommend anyone else in this same way. There are many who are competent. There are few who are inspired. Melanie is both."  (Dr. Cynthia Muehlbauer, Executive Director - The Office of Performance Management)

  • "What separates Melanie from others is that she is not one to admire problems but one who solves problems.  She brings unique and valuable skills and knowledge to the leadership position.  Her ability to analyze situations and think out of the box for solutions is one of her many gifts.  She strives diligently to create opportunities and structures that will motivate and support those in their daily endeavors.  There is no doubt she will make you a model for others to emulate."  (Len Ference, The Learning First Alliance facilitator)

  • "Conducting quality reviews to determine progress and meeting with the leadership team to discuss implementation issues and solve problems,...providing sound leadership and assisting in developing, managing and implementing systemic reform,...Melanie is hard working,...and displays high expectations for everyone she encounters,...I truly believe she possesses the academic and professional qualities that would contribute to the high standards of any organization."  (Dr. Jamie Aquino, General Manager - An affiliate of the National Center on Education and the Economy, Americas Choice.
