Testimonials
"After 25 years of working in county and city government as a human resources director and in-house labor attorney, I started my private law and consulting practice in 2010. I knew then the value of being a National PELRA sponsor -- so much so that I became a sponsor before I even had an income. That was a bit of a leap of faith, but it was based on what I knew from 22 years as a very active member, including eight years on the National Board and a year as president. I saw close up how sponsorship works to connect service providers with our members, both through the opportunity to present at conferences, the Academy, and webinars, as well as the chance to interact informally at conferences. Our members oversee some four to five million public employees, and I knew that if I were going to make this new venture work, it would be through the contacts that sponsoring the National PELRA and my state chapter in Ohio would bring. I was right, and it was the best business investment I have ever made. Some 95% of my work comes through my National PELRA and OHPELRA contacts. While I was a member and leader in National PELRA before I was a sponsor, and that is a different path from most sponsors, the value of that exposure is there for any sponsor, for we build client relationships by showing our members what we know and what we can do for their jurisdictions. Nothing does that better than being a sponsor of the National PELRA, and I will continue to sponsor as long as I am in business."
