"With his practical experience as an association management professional, a former owner of a successful Association Management Company, and experience sitting on the other side of the table as a member of numerous boards and committees, Cliff Brownstein is uniquely positioned to consult with a wide range of not-for-profit organizations on a multitude of strategic and operational issues. He is highly recommended!" John R. Waxman, President, The Sherwood Group Inc., Northbrook, IL
"Cliff has done an excellent job with the Board of Directors of one of our association management partners. He led them through team-building, into a self-analysis of the Board's performance, and then facilitated debates and decision making on the Association's strategic positioning. All of the Directors gave high marks to Cliff's day-long session. The time was productive, the pacing was perfect, and Cliff was very adept at meeting the needs of the individual participants." J. Michael Reitelbach, President, Organization Management Group, Inc., Virginia Beach, VA.
"I was frankly skeptical that much would come of our deliberations, in part because of presumed institutional inertia and in part because my prior experience with "facilitators" was less than encouraging. On both counts, I was blown away. I was impressed with the Committee's willingness to challenge its own existence, and I was particularly impressed with the way Cliff ran the meeting. It might have been unclear at the outset where we were heading, but to my view, that reflected the very problems we faced. That Cliff was able to bring out and then guide the eventual consensus is a real testament to his skills." Allen A. Mitchell, M.D., Chairman, Strategic Planning Committee & President-Elect, International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology
