Facilitation

Facilitator-led Retreats and Planning Sessions

 

“From the start, my Board of Directors and I were very impressed with Dr. Ray’s experience, up-to-date knowledge regarding trends and best practices in the private club industry. His assistance in facilitating and keeping everyone on-track at our strategic planning meetings proved insightful and productive. He has facilitated three retreats for us over the last seven years. We consider him a partner in helping us further develop our strategic objectives of being one of the premier golf clubs in the country.”
