What Association Board Members and Staff are Saying

I have been working with Leading Associations for approximately 6 months as a board member of a medium nonprofit organization. I cannot speak highly enough about them. Rob and Jeff helped turn our very struggling organization around to an organization that has a focus, a drive, and soon a strategic plan.

Rob and Jeff provided immeasurable help to our Board of Directors. Their presentation was clear, concise, and specifically tailored to our particular needs.

Whenever I read something Jeff wrote or hear him speak, I say “of course. . . I knew that” or “I should have thought of that” – because it makes eminent sense.  He has a magical ability to take a concept (that is likely complex) and reframe it in terms that make you say, “Now I get it.”
