"The staff of Luminesce has been unfailingly patient and helpful in offering guidance and problem-solving assistance...They have responded quickly to questions, and have regularly attended those sessions when we have program coordinators gather in Columbus to discuss the data collection and reporting processes. I cannot imagine an easier company with which to partner."

—Edward M. Krauss, Ohio Commission on Dispute Resolution & Conflict Management
