"Randy Pennington is simply the best I have found in more than 25 years as a senior trade association manager at facilitating meaningful, practical staff performance enhancement programs."
International Association for Human Resource Systems Management
"The improvement during the past year has been remarkable. Highlighted by our $25 million profit turnaround…your involvement and leadership has been extremely beneficial in achieving this transformation."
Inland Paperboard & Packaging
"Randy was brought in at the last minute and was asked to get up to speed very quickly on high-level business issues and become sensitive to executive personalities. We were very impressed by his ability to meet our needs in such a short time frame."
Navistar
"We had many, many positive comments about the way you ran the retailer panels, the sessions on Wednesday, and the way you wrapped up the conference workshops on Tuesday. You could have heard a pin drop after you threw candy around and told them they had to come up with one or two commitments. The response was fantastic."
Fleming Foods
"The one and a half day Staff retreat was extremely productive, but it was also done in a manner that was relaxed and non-threatening. There have been some major issues, political turmoil, and obviously the traumatic incident with the tornado in 1994 that have really placed some emotional burdens on this staff. I continue to get good feedback from Directors and they are already looking forward to upcoming Staff retreats."
City of Lancaster, Texas
"Ours is not an easy group to work with, nor are the concepts of IS audit, IT control, and IT governance particularly easily grasped, but you did a wonderful job of familiarizing yourself with our various organizations, our membership, and their concerns…Thanks again, Randy, for doing such a great job for us."
Information Systems Audit and Control Association
"My estimates of your abilities obviously weren't high enough. I have worked with various trade and professional societies and have participated in a number of strategic issues/planning sessions. This group and session was (and will continue to be) the most challenging. You proved, however, that with patience, common sense, and guidance a positive outcome is possible."
American Society of Home Inspectors
"You were masterful in your ability to oversee the process without interjecting your personal views into the discussions. In my twenty years in this business I have rarely seen anyone be as objective as you were and still keep people on task."
