Project Management

This was not an easy assignment, but we knew we could count on The Communicators to provide the right amount of prior planning needed to help our steering committee of four organizations maintain focus, so that the group would succeed in their mission.

The combination of Georgia and Lance is powerful and comfortable. The produced agendas that are deep enough to keep focus yet encourage discussion outside the box. We like the way they facilitate mired committees into flowing decision-making committees. Most of all, we appreciate their skill to keep the process moving to conclusion –to a “go/no go” vote. While they honor the work that has come before them, they have an effective way of saying NO when needed.

Plans of Action Turned Into Tangible Results

Developing and launching an initiative to secure Industry Partners was a high priority of the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET). The Communicators took this goal and developed and implemented a strategic plan of action that produced tangible results. NICET's first Industry Partner was identified within the first few months of the initiative.

"The Industry Partner Initiative, a major long-term initiative authorized by the NICET Board of Governors in 2005, is all about connections and relationships that have always been the key to building and delivering the highest quality and most current certification programs for engineering technicians," Clark said. "There's a place for all of our industry partners to 'Keep NICET Certifications Current' and we are very happy to see the American Fire Sprinkler Association set the pace by becoming our first industry partner"

Customer Creation: Making a Difference

In associations the members find value and create value for themselves and other members through the activities and information that directly relate to their work and aspirations for promotions. As director of the five communities of professional practice within the National Association of Professional Engineers (NSPE), I've experienced a lot of changes and intense periods of creativity in recent years, to bring to life the new strategic plan, new organizational structure and new leadership patterns. The Communicators project teams have been a constant, reliable source of energy, communications strategies and member-engaging projects that my staff and I deliver to our state societies, company members and individual Professional Engineers.

My position has to deal evenly with all five of the communities of practice, which includes professional engineers in private practice, construction, industry, government and education. This covers the entire range of our association's members and reaches out to other engineering organizations, such as civil (ASCE), electrical (IEEE), mechanical (ASME), and more than 100 other associations. Just imagine what it's like to create business plans and business value for a membership with that much diversity! With my staff and my team from The Communicators, that's exactly what we do.

Clear Communications

"IMAPS has an education foundation-The Microelectronics Foundation, that has been in need of revitalization. We're using Georgia Patrick and Lance Welter of The Communicators. They are doing wonderful work for us. Maybe she Georgia and her team can help you, but I'll leave that to you two to discuss if you desire."
