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

for Quality

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

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

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
