		<description>Rob, here in the Northwest, we are starting to see the number of inquiries pick back up.  Nonprofits are continuing to be very cost conscience and tentative, but seem to have &quot;reset&quot; their expectations and are moving forward.  Most of our campaigns that include endowment or capital also have an initiative or operations component, too.  

We are looking to update some of our assessment tools that we use when starting engagements with new clients or when completing development assessment audits.  Are there any particular tools that you would recommend?
