 Client Comments:

"We hired Ed Rigsbee to facilitate our sessions focused on marketing at our annual convention. This was a huge challenge as our members have traditionally not looked at the broader picture in terms of what can be done differently to re-focus our products and thus grow our industry. Ed's succinct, yet gung-ho facilitating process led the members to where THEY thought they initially couldn't  go, to knowing it was the only way to go. For our group, that was huge. Ed has an uncanny ability for professional facilitating. Thanks for setting us our future course."  -Jane McEwen, Executive Director, International Packaged Ice Association

"Ed...Your presentation provided a wonderful educational experience for our Executive Directors. Determining the value of membership in the American Nurses Association has long been an elusive element for our state organizations." -Leo Schargorodski, Executive Director, American Nurses Foundation

"This [Member Value Process] was very timely and our poll from those in attendance was off the charts; they liked you [Ed Rigsbee] and they learned from you." -Jay Hagins, President (2004) Houston Society of Association Executives

"Before and during the conference, we were impressed by your willingness to get involved with our association to better understand how we operate. As a neutral third party, you gave us some valuable insights into how we might improve ASQ" -Laurel Nelsen-Rowe, Managing Director, American Society for Quality

"Additionally, your member valuation session created great value for us. We now can better communicate the high-level return on investment our members receive from their membership." -John Fullerton, Vice President, National Frame Builders Association

"It was obvious to me that you did your research on our industry. From the additional breakout session on member value, that was enlightening, to the post-conference article you wrote for us about all that NADCA does for its members, you really delivered." Aaron Mindel, Executive Director, National Air Duct Cleaners Association

"Thank you for doing a fantastic job of customizing your presentation to the focus of our meeting and the needs of our attendees. Your skill of educating with humor kept attendees alert, curious and appreciative of the message which all associations need to contemplate - membership value. Our Fall Education Forum is meant to be high level education and I would recommend your session 'Your Members are asking: "What's in it for me?"' to anyone!" -Rick Brush, CEO/President, California Society of Association Executives

"Your presentation was well informed and provided a wealth of information in a concise and humorous manner. Participants enjoyed having the opportunity to hear your insight on partnering and gave the program a rating of excellent." -Kerry Parker, CAE, Executive Vice President, Northern California Society of Association Executives

"The information you shared with the membership was extremely useful and interesting." -Larry Vinson, Executive Director, Alabama Council of Association Executives

"Valuable information...thoughtful and useful guidelines." -Joan Tezak, CAE, CMP, Executive Director, Colorado Society of Association Executives

"Attendees rated your sessions good to excellent and the comments included: Nice powerful message with funny & lighthearted style. Good exercise on membership value $. Great ideas!" -Jane Svinicki, Executive Vice President, Wisconsin Society of Association Executives
