| "Nancy produces creative and delicious events for women! She's got an innovative and timely idea reviving an old tradition and gearing it toward women over 40. "Flourish" presents a monthly 'salon'. I use "salon" in the classic sense...a gathering of people sharing ideas and inspiring each other. They're delightful!"

I have benefited by attending her workshops for Flourish - amazing speakers with truly excellent information and speaking ability - and been the recipient of her generosity as she featured Itafari Foundation and raised tremendous money for our foundation through a raffle prize she put together. It's so easy to do so little. But It's extraordinary to see someone go the extra mile. My best to her for all the great work she will accomplish now and in the future. Attend one of the Flourish events. You will be better for it."

| "Flourish is the brainchild of Nancy Thompson. Based on the Grand Salons held in 17th and 18th century France, these Salons were a place where women could gather, away from men, to learn and share together. With that in mind, Flourish was created so that women in the Portland area can have a place to Connect, Inspire, and Empower each other. Every month the Flourish Salon features a new topic. It is an awesome place to gather with friends, make new friends, network, eat delicious food, drink a little wine and learn something new and amazing. I encourage you to check out the schedule of future events. So if you are looking for a little down time away from the kids or work or maybe a place to network, some good food and great company, all while learning something new, look no further! Flourish salons have it all. I hope to see you there."

| "It is a pleasure to know Nancy, as I have for many years! I am inspired by the vision that launched this new journey in her life. Her monthly Flourish Salons bring women together in a community of learning and inspiration. She provides a refuge of tranquility, and gives us permission to step away to focus on the meaningful ingredients of life. She is passionate about helping women Flourish together, with heart and humor."

Her expertise in corporate planning has ported gracefully to being an entrepreneur and launching Flourish. Nancy is well respected, a leader in her community and a connector. It's is my pleasure to know Nancy, be her friend and collaborate with her on bringing communities of women together."
