SBI has a “Team” approach and mentality in dealing with IOA. They go the extra mile in working with the various committees and leadership on tasks, projects, and strategy. It has proven for me to be a very comfortable relationship and one that adds value in ways that IOA has long needed.
CHUCK HOWARD, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, INTERNATIONAL OMBUDSMAN ASSOCIATION
Delightful group with whom to work. Has gone to great lengths to understand, assimilate and coordinate the process of our Society.
CHARLES CODDINGTON, BOARD MEMBER, PACIFIC COAST REPRODUCTIVE SOCIETY
The SBI team has supported our organization for many years. As running the back-office of a non-profit is a skillset we don’t really have a lot of in our organization, we really could not survive without their support. I would happily recommend their services!

I highly recommend SBI to any association seeking outside management.

This is my first time as president of a professional organization. I was willing to take on this role because I knew that SBI would provide some “institutional memory” and support through transitions.

During the first year…we were able to establish a solid relationship that truly has been fruitful…We look forward to continuing our important work in partnership with the SBI team.

Very responsive to queries. Help with organizational issues. Knowledgeable team.
CESAR MIGLIORATI, PRESIDENT, THE AMERICAN BOARD OF ORAL MEDICINE
SBI took the management reins for our organization well into our annual conference planning cycle when our predecessor provider terminated relations unexpectedly. The SBI team hit the ground running and demonstrated superior flexibility and support to make the conference a success… and they have only built upon that success since.
MARK PATTERSON, CONFERENCE COMMITTEE CO CHAIR, INTERNATIONAL OMBUDSMAN ASSOCIATION
For us, as a small organization of two staff members, SBI is able to increase our impact around our mission and effectively support us in the areas of finance, marketing & communication and event planning.
