The consultants at Evergreen Solutions, LLC come from backgrounds in public administration, human resources, education, economics, and finance. Several hold professional certifications, including Certified Compensation Professional, SHRM-SCP, IPMA-SCP, and Project Management Professional. Before joining the firm, team members worked in state agencies, county and municipal government, school districts, and university systems, and that experience informs how Evergreen Solutions LLC approaches the operational realities its clients describe. The firm employs 25 staff and is based in Tallahassee, Florida. Credentials at the leadership level follow the same pattern. Dr. Jeffrey Ling, who co-founded Evergreen Solutions LLC with Dr. Linda Recio in 2005, is a Certified Compensation Professional and holds an Advanced Certificate for Executives in Management, Innovation, and Technology. His career before the presidency included various roles in private industry, consulting, and higher education, and one of those roles was Executive Vice President of Evergreen Solutions. Across the last 30 years his work has involved more than 2,500 organizations, in every case around improving outcomes in human resource management, operations, and change management. Dr. Recio brought a public education background to the firm she co-founded. She had led the education practice for another consulting firm, overseen reviews of Florida school districts for the Florida Department of Education, and directed planning and policy development for Leon County Schools. She served as the first President of Evergreen Solutions LLC and became President Emeritus in 2020. Applied against public sector and mission-driven organizations, that combined expertise addresses the human resources and management questions that shape how those organizations serve the people who depend on them. Evergreen Solutions LLC is a management consulting firm, and its clients are cities, counties, school districts, institutions of higher education, and state agencies. It has operated for more than two decades, has partnered with public sector clients in 47 states, and has completed more than 1,800 engagements in that time. The consulting work is organized around four public sector markets, with a distinct practice area maintained for K-12 education, local government, state government, and higher education.
