Since the Garthson Leadership Centre serves primarily the voluntary sector, where resources are always limited, costs are kept to a minimum. The Garthson Leadership Centre is committed to giving the very best value to the client. Trusted associates are added to meet client needs on a project by project basis. Teams normally work together virtually, and some client services are available through distance technology as well as in person.

The consulting service has been owned and operated by Jane Garthson since 1992.
