Testimonials

As current President of the Connecticut Society of Health Systems Pharmacists, I highly recommend ADS’s association management services to any organization seeking a high‑quality, reliable, and strategic partner. Their team consistently delivers excellence across all aspects of association support, demonstrating a level of professionalism and expertise that has significantly strengthened our operations. ADS excels in reliable event planning, managing every detail with precision and ensuring our annual conference and related activities run seamlessly. They brought fresh, innovative ideas to enhance the structure and content of our Catch the Wave conference in ways that kept it relevant, engaging, and aligned with the evolving needs of our members. One of ADS’s greatest strengths is their strong communication skills. They keep all stakeholders informed, maintain open and transparent dialogue, and ensure tasks move forward efficiently. Their sense of accountability to board members has been invaluable—they deliver on commitments and proactively address issues before they become challenges. We have really appreciated Michelle and Gigi’s partnership in the development of board meeting and strategic planning agendas, ensuring that leadership discussions are well‑structured, goal‑oriented, and productive. Their ability to blend strategic insight with operational execution makes them a truly comprehensive partner. In every interaction, ADS demonstrates professionalism, creativity, responsiveness, and a genuine commitment to helping associations thrive. For organizations seeking a dependable, forward‑thinking, and detail‑oriented association management team, ADS stands out as an outstanding choice!

Barb and I recently worked together organizing CT Demo Day. I must admit that it was a real pleasure working with Barb. She is very organized and was always on the ball with all the things we had going on. Barb has a great network of contacts and her positive approach to everything she does makes working with her fun.

Barb Dimauro and the team at ADS are remarkable. ManufactureCT started working with Barb within the past year. She runs an incredibly professional and efficient company, with a focus on delivering exceptional customer service. Barb gets to know her clients and their industry, providing a seamless extension of the business, from back-end administration, to highly effective marketing, and planning world-class events. As President of the organization, I never had to worry about the day-to-day operations; ADS has everything under control!

I have worked with Barb and ADS for several years at the Utility Contractors Association of Connecticut (UCAC). She is very well organized and always has the best interest for our organization. The time that she has spent at UCAC has been outstanding! She has brought on new memberships and is a great asset to us.

Barb and Audience Development Strategies took on the NEFMA administrative affairs amid a challenging situation that got much worse with COVID-19. She was an incredible resource to the NEFMA Board, bringing initiative and creativity to the challenge of sustaining membership and sponsorships while creating virtual events. At the same time, Barb provided efficient, friendly service to the members and Board.

I’ve had the honor of working with Barb on the Utility Contractors Association of Connecticut board. Barbara is a relentless leader with great energy and enthusiasm who is constantly coming up with ideas to help our group as well as prospective members in the utility industry. In an industry that is always changing, having someone who is organized and motivated lead the way is a great way to keep new processes at the forefront. Barb is someone who can be counted on and should be utilized for upcoming project and events.

I have known Barb and ADS since 2019 UCAC in Connecticut. I have seen the organization grow in membership and quality of organization during the last couple of years. She brings spirit, hard work, persistence and a smile to all that she is involved with. She has a genuine way about her which is obvious to all who know her.

Barb joined our group as Executive Director about 3 years ago and brought much needed enthusiasm, fresh ideas and a willingness to do what it takes to get things done. Her organizational and financial skill set has served our group well. Her marketing of our group has brought in “good fit” new members who will be vital to the group for years to come. I highly recommend Barb to market and support your organization.

Barb and the ADS team are fantastic event planners. They are organized, enthusiastic, responsive, and proactive. I would work with Barb and ADS again and again and entrust her with my event and trade show needs any day.

Barb and her team are the absolute best. Her mix of organization, enthusiasm, professionalism, and experience is tough to compare. I’ve worked with Barb on a few different projects and she blew us all away. I really look forward to working with her on future endeavors!
