Ninety-five percent of Mr. Feinberg's projects have been for buildings and sites listed on the National Register. Eighty-five percent of these assignments have been for federal, state, and local governments. The fact that the majority of firm's projects are for repeat clients demonstrates John's ability to manage jobs that are visible to the public eye (that is, public buildings such as courthouses and post offices), meet client objectives and measures of success, satisfy stakeholder concerns and interests, and for each client to be pleased enough with the results to hire him and his team repeatedly. The quality of Mr. Feinberg's work is indicated by the honors awarded to the clients' projects: national, state, and local. In 38 years, he has successfully completed over 100 major Historic Structures Reports (HSRs), among which are the HSRs for the Kansas State Capitol; Charleston U.S. Courthouse; St. Croix U.S. Custom House; and South Pass City (NHL), Wyoming. Mr. Feinberg has also completed site master plans, interpretive plans, and HSRs for the historic sites of the state historic preservation divisions of Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, and Wyoming.

Most of the past 40 years of Mr. Wheaton’s career was in the National Park Service (NPS) where he provided architectural history services on over 3,000 historic structures.

Tita Young
Office Manager and Publications SpecialistEducation
- B.A. in Psychology, Colorado College, 1974
Upon her recent return to working with John Feinberg (when what is now The Collaborative Inc. was known as Community Services Collaborative), Tita has delighted in taking up the reins set aside 16 years earlier. As Office Manager and Production Manager, her scope of work still includes proposals, reports, brochures, books, press releases, and marketing materials as well as general administrative support to the professional staff as it continues to have the pleasure of working on public and private projects from Alaska to St. Croix.
In the intervening years, Tita has developed WordScribe, a pre-press publishing business in which she has helped firms and organizations produce distinctive brochures, books, manuals, and reports by arranging materials, crafting the text, and working to streamline and update the writing and production process while keeping the quality high. I like to eliminate logjams and work with a team to meet deadlines. For example, I helped accelerate the publication of The Journal of Energy and Development (ICEED) by 50%, I wrote and edited manuals at Research Systems Management, and my work on historic structure reports at CSC resulted in high-quality products.
