I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Gipson for over 15 years. I have witnessed her knowledge, ability and skills at work while she supports families by interfacing with multiple systems in order to have their needs met. Her advocacy skills are impeccable. In addition, I have seen her successfully manage programs with numerous partners to serve a community. Should you choose to access her services you undoubtedly will not be disappointed.

As a guardian, I want to thank you for your dedicated work as advocate for my ward. With limited State of Maryland funds, your advocacy makes all the difference between success and languishing in a bureaucratic quagmire of paperwork. Over the years, you have trained more than one newly assigned State-funded coordinator on how to complete the State-required documents for my ward. Your expertise in annual Maryland Eligibility Determination and Person-Centered Plans makes these tasks less daunting and almost effortless. Your breadth of knowledge and ability to navigate the State’s eligibility and benefits landscape has made all the difference in the world. Additionally, thank you for continuing to track the progress of our efforts and prompt and advise us through each year, as needed, and all your efforts toward improving the outcomes for my ward. Your ongoing guidance and assistance has been invaluable in ensuring the best quality of life and care for her.
— With my greatest respect and admiration, Greg Prunier
