"I find the meetings informative. The speakers are very knowledgeable about their subject matter; the presentations combine practical experience and an in-depth understanding of their respective topics. The meetings provide the opportunity to meet experienced consultants and converse about interesting and diverse topics." Valerie Pelan, M.B.A. Integrated Focus , Marketing and Customer Service %% "The IMC has given me the opportunity to learn difficult and unique perspectives on all consulting areas, not only my own special areas of interest.. The interplay between different areas and perspectives is valable and long lasting." Howie Lund, CMC, President Lund Strategic Alliance, Inc. %% "I've been in consulting for many years and involved in IMC for 20 years. I still enjoy visiting with other people who do what I do for a living and sharing ideas on how we can all improve our skills, be more profitable and maintain the high ethical standards of the profession." Edward A. Stone CMC, FIMC The Dallas Marketing Group, Inc. %% "After 40 years in the consulting business, I still learn something at each and every meeting. I use these ideas to apply to my client issues and for my own professional development." Howie Lund, CMC, President Lund Strategic Alliance, Inc. %% "Although my initial attraction to IMC's was the CMC (Certified Management Consultant) designation which signifies the highest standards of consulting and adherence to the ethical canons of the profession, I immediately discovered additional benefits through the DFW chapter. IMC's engaging speakers, outstanding leadership and gracious, informative members benefit both new and seasoned consultants. With little time to spare, IMC is worth every minute." Dr. Connie Sitterly, CMC Sittcom, Inc./ Management Training Specialists %% "I am an excellent consultant, have a good reputation, and have a bunch of experience. But I need to do better at running a consulting practice. And I need to have a quiver of excellent peers I can partner with when I do not have enough capacity or when the client need is in an area I am not strong in. And I need smart, capable people to teach me things and push me to think differently. And I need colleagues who inspire me to be ethical and disciplined. IMC does all that for me." Pete Sorenson, CMC GINKGO Enterprises %% "When I began my practice 16 years ago, I quickly saw that consulting was far different from the corporate management positions previously held. IMC was the one organization I relied upon for professional and practice development support. I continue to receive benefits from IMC membership and certification far in excess of my investment in the Institute." Richard P. Morgan, CMC Morgan Marketing Solutions, Inc. %% "When I decided to build a consulting practice I found in the IMC a deep bench of highly experienced individuals who were delighted at the opportunity to help me and guide me during the transition. Now that I have gained experience I continue to find the organization and its members to be an invaluable sounding board in a supportive and friendly environment."
