“As an independent meeting planner, I often rely on collaborating with my peers to meet my client’s needs.  Thanks to Michael and Trevor, the MAR Team, I was able to do that recently.  They assisted with onsite registration for a client recently and I knew I didn’t have to worry about it being handled, professionally or accurately.  They really came through for me and I look forward to working with them again in the near future.”

“I have worked with Michael and his team from M.A.R. Association & Meeting Management for several years as the management for the Reston Herndon Meeting Planners (RHMP). He has moved RHMP from a home-grown group of meeting planners and suppliers to a professional organization. M.A.R. Association & Meeting Management created a website and streamlined the online registration process. Michael has been instrumental in developing creative ideas for programs, making RHMP one of the “must attend” meetings in the Washington, DC arena, thanks to Michael and M.A.R. Association & Meeting Management.”

“Michael and his team were professional, enthusiastic, and responsive to all our needs. They guided us through a stressful time and eased our concerns. Michael was even made available on a Saturday to assist us with testing our CRM system. We can’t think him enough for what he has done!”

“M.A.R. Association & Meeting Management has worked with the North LA Chapter of NIGP for almost 10 years. During that time Michael and his team have offered consistent, quality chapter support and event management. Whether managing an event or making contacts with other agencies on our behalf, M.A.R. has helped NLANIGP to establish itself as the leader in Professional Procurement in our area. We have been able to reach throughout the State of Louisiana, as well as all over the country, gathering resources and educational opportunities for our members.  Michael’s team continues to be an invaluable resource in the use of technology as a support for various functions within our chapter. After serving as president for two years and a Board member for over six, I am confident in recommending M.A.R. to any organization that is interesting in moving the group to the next level.”

“Michael’s approach to the meetings industry is refreshing. He is not only proactive towards his clients wants, but forward thinking in the meeting process.  Having worked with him on the committee for the Reston Herndon Meeting Planners group for many years, his commitment to greatness and success is contagious.”
