The most significant tangible difference in working with Renee is her willingness and ability to talk through issues or challenges and work together on achievable solutions. Association challenges affect so many different departments and individuals in diverse ways; it is essential to all be on the same page and agree on what actions to take when developing and implementing solutions.
– Jennifer Frawley, CAE, Director of Affiliate Relations and Membership at the American Optometric Association.
I became a more decisive leader for my staff and confident among other directors while working with Renee. She helped me become more focused on ROI and the impact of our work. Renee has a deep knowledge of working for an association in multiple roles, with all levels of staff, industry, board, and active members/volunteers. She can lead at a high level and absorb details, while still reading between the lines – which are important skills. She is a highly respected female leader.

Renee helped me to feel empowered to make the right decisions. My attention to detail and level of excellence/quality also greatly increased. You held our team to a high standard and that has resonated with me and helped me to be successful in my role. Also, learning the right perspective and how to better prioritize our efforts made a huge difference and is probably one of the main reasons I still love my job every single day.
