GIS Technician - ramsey washington metro watershed district

MB Consulting was hired to organize a large community event on its 20th year. This event has always been complicated with a lot of moving parts but Maddy absolutely soared at the helm. Her ability to make fast, smart decisions was an indispensable asset when juggling budgets, permits, volunteers, vendors, cancellations, food options, communications and so much more. Not only was the event the smoothest in the 20 year history, Maddy made sure we came in under-budget while adding several creative and logistical improvements. I would highly recommend MB Consulting to any organization looking for a person who is both a pleasure to work with and can make big things happen.

Ms. Bohn has been extremely helpful for our new board members to fully understand the necessities of each event. Each event planned by Maddy was skillfully conducted and in a professional manner. Our first event is a Legislative Breakfast, Reception and Meetings with our legislators, Ms. Bohn has made changes to improve our location and meeting areas. The registration, check in and updates to attendees is handled smoothly. Cost savings and event enhancements were implemented at her suggestion, all within the budget provided. Our second event is our Summer Tour. This event is held in a different location in the State every year, Ms. Bohn worked with a committee designated by the Board. This 2-day event is attended by 150-200 people. Our tour involves the careful coordination of hotels, bussing, food and entertainment at multiple stops throughout the city and countryside. The advertising of the event, registration, speakers, food and bussing vendors have been handled well. Our third and most important event is our the Annual Conference and Trade Show. This is a 3-day event with over 600 people in attendance. Ms. Bohn’s attention to detail and persistence of ensuring that contract agreements are adhered to have improved this event tremendously. With the suggestion of implementing a new sponsorship program for our Trade Show, Ms. Bohn brought in an additional 20K in new revenue for our organization. Maddy works efficiently and consistently with our committees on these events and we have been very satisfied with her outstanding skills.
