Elizabeth conducted surveys, analyzed past data/surveys, analyzed internal data from our AMS, interviewed members, met with our team, etc, and eventually she had several recommended options for us to consider bringing to the board. Clarity is my only way to make a decision, and I felt like we had very solid clarity to make a final call, which we did, and have had zero pushback or negative feedback on our newly implemented dues structure as of a few months ago. Certainly key to this was how we communicated transparently to everyone, and then to each individual membership level with renewals, and Elizabeth worked with our team on that as well. Would highly recommend.

Incredibly good webinar. Thanks Jamie and Elizabeth. Excellent concepts and guidance, and excellent case studies.

Thank you for sharing this important “read” with us and for continuing your pattern of freely disseminating great info, no strings attached. You do the community proud. And you do great work, too.

Elizabeth shared valuable insights to take back to the staff and board.

We’re seeing some awesome results as of the end of 2022: our retention rate is at an all time high, and membership growth is up 5% over last year and double digits over the past three years. A big THANK YOU for your guidance. We really wouldn’t be here without your help along the way.

Thank you again for all of the work you did on behalf of NSCP.  It has been tremendously helpful for the board of directors and staff during our strategic planning process.

Just wanted to let you know that there was a great deal of appreciation expressed yesterday regarding your report – it was timely, concise, on point, and exactly what we needed. Thanks once again for jumping in on short notice, and for providing such an excellent recap.

I really appreciate the support you have provided to IHGOA over the years. Your landscape report was spot on and very insightful. I appreciate your efforts pulling it together!

I’ve known Elizabeth Engel for 20-25 years now. She gets good results, cuts through the BS, and balances short-term activities with longer-term strategy so you can do better working within your current constraints but can chip away at the bigger obstacles that associations often have to achieve much greater growth.

It has been a pleasure working with you. From day one I knew I made the right decision to go with Spark Consulting!
