“I have known and worked with Chitra Shanbhogue, when she became the Executive Director of Community Answers. From the very beginning, I was impressed with the ease in which Chitra took on new challenges, tenaciously seeing them through to completion or resolution. I watched as she enthusiastically embraced and learned the new technology that was evolving.Under her leadership, Community Answers transformed itself, becoming more responsive and accessible to the community and the clients it serves. Along the way, there were many challenges, not the least of which was adequate funding. Chitra actively attacked the problem, and with hard work and perseverance, she created two highly successful, ongoing fund-raisers for the organization. In addition, Chitra’s interpersonal skills are outstanding. She created a dynamic between herself and among the four staff members that fostered extraordinary teamwork and camaraderie, as well as a great respect and loyalty from the Community Answers’ volunteers. In this world of constant change and innovation, Chitra has exemplified those qualities necessary to help an organization explore and maximize its full potential.”

"Chitra maintained a very professional attitude and approach through the afternoon that made all the difference. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Chitra in the organization of this event. Her clarity of thought and a clear vision of the theme was impressive. Chitra's expertise in event planning was evident at every step of our planning. Thanks for all the tips & guidance. BTW the Giving tree looked beautiful, and whatever we raised today is the fruit of that tree this time."
