SMR consultants have worked with numerous athletic departments, conferences, associations and other sports-related non-profit organizations. Read about what some of these organizational leaders have to say...
Sports Commission, Turks and Caicos Islands
“Sports Management Resources has provided consulting services to the Turks and Caicos Islands Sports Commission for the purpose of enhancing our governing authority ordinance, developing bylaws that define the operating responsibilities and procedures to be followed by the Sports Commission and national sport governing organizations and developing an overall national sports policy. SMR will continue to provide assistance in the development of a strategic plan which will guide sports development on TCI for the next three to five years. I have found their work to be outstanding. They seek to understand all factors that have an impact on sport delivery systems and are extremely attentive to detail. They work hand-in-hand with me, respecting my time and seeking my opinion and advice on all elements. I highly recommend their work and look forward to continuing our relationship." -- Alvin Parker, Director, Sports Commission, Turks and Caicos Islands ”
Occidental College
"Occidental College has benefited a great deal in the short time of collaborating with the professionals at SMR. We saw this as a unique opportunity to get "coaching" from some of the best and most experienced minds in the business. SMR not only provided a user friendly tool to measure our current structure but the consultant was also readily available and the feedback was thorough and timely. Our work over three months will serve as a guideline in planning for the next several years." -- Jaime Hoffman, Director of Athletics, Occidental College, Los Angeles, CA
Wellesley College
"Dr. Connee Zotos was an engaging, vibrant and energetic presenter with a keen ability to impart a great deal of knowledge about effective teaching and coaching in a meaningful way. She engaged our teacher-coaches with hands-on examples of how and why teaching/coaching assessment is so important to each person, their students and for the viability of our profession. I knew her presentation was a success when at the end of our time, our faculty/staff did not want to leave!" --Bridget Belgiovine, Director of Athletics/Chair, Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA
State University of New York @ Geneseo
"Connie Zotos is a very engaging and inspiring speaker. My staff was able to relate to the concepts she presented and implement them as tools for measuring performance. I would strongly recommend Connie to my fellow colleagues as an individual who can relate to the needs of coaches and their desire to be successful…" --Marilyn Moore, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreation, SUNY Geneseo, Geneseo, NY
New England Women's Fund
“Donna Lopiano rates at the top of my list of professionals in the sports and non-profit management fields. Her vision for seeing the possibilities in an organization and then assisting the management team in gaining insight into their primary business and focus to achieve that vision is tremendous. Donna led the NEWFund Board of Directors through a strategic planning process at a time when we needed not only to bring the organization to a new level but also needed to re-energize the staff and board members on the importance of the work we were doing to better the lives of girls through sports. Donna’s knowledge, passion and experience in the sports and non-profit world coupled with her ability to think outside the box, ask critical questions and truly engage the entire board in the planning process was what made the planning process highly efficient, rewarding and very successful. Donna captivated the board with her professionalism, friendliness and performance." --Linda Driscoll, Past President, New England Women’s Fund Board of Directors
