We are so honored to partner with Samuels & Associates thank you for your deep commitment to the Boston community and to those who need it most. Homelessness can be invisible yet meeting very human needs around food, safety, and well-being is made possible by the generosity of partners like Samuels. From helping deliver 141 backpacks to children in our shelters and outfitting an apartment for a family making the monumental move out of homelessness, to donating space in Time Out Market to make holiday magic possible for children in shelters across Greater Boston, the civic-minded dedication

As an executive coach and training facilitator, I've had the pleasure to work with all levels of associates throughout the firm, including the senior leadership. The consistent themes at S&A include: solid relationships; significant competence; flexibility and an uber commitment to employees through talent development opportunities, off-site company retreats and executive coaching. Leslie Cohen, the COO is a rock star who carries the torch for S&A with team initiatives, credibility and an abundance of successful skills followed by timely execution. Great place to work!
