“During our restructure, we were wise enough to contract David Radcliffe and the Radcliffe Company to develop an orientation program for our board of directors and staff that would result in a three to five year vision and strategic plan. The Radcliffe Company researched our organization, talked with board members and staff and identified the issues that needed resolution in order to develop a strategic plan designed to provide the Sedona Chamber and it’s divisions a competitive advantage in the marketplace as well as tell our story to our constituents locally.

The results of the program developed and executed by the Radcliffe Company provided much more than we ever anticipated. We now have a cohesive board of directors with a vision and mission and four strategic committees whose volunteers take on issues never before addressed by this chamber. The plan outlined during the program included recommendations that resulted in additional funding from the City of Sedona for our organization. ….. There are few if any consulting firms who have the level of experience and expertise in tourism marketing, organizational politics, funding and boards of directors as well as other issues facing non-profit organizations as do the Radcliffe Company.”

Char Beltran, CEO, Sedona Chamber of Commerce
