Client Appreciation
"​I am reaching out to say thank you for the hard work and professionalism of you and your team to deliver a true hybrid annual meeting for the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. I observed first-hand the “many twists and turns” that you had to navigate during the ever-changing pandemic/Delta variant landscape. And, as I have come to expect with what you do, you pivoted as needed to ensure the best possible meeting experience for all involved."

"I want to thank you both – and your amazing team at DMEM – for all of your work on the International Workshop on Agritourism! Your professionalism and attention to detail throughout the event planning process ensured the success of the conference, even after two postponements due to the pandemic. Everyone on your staff was easy to work with and responsive. Marie did a terrific job of managing all of the moving parts, while keeping the conference on budget. 

Thank you for a hugely successful event!"

"I can still feel the energy buzzing from yesterday’s event. What a wonderful success it was and that is in great part due to you! I wanted to reach out to you, on behalf of the NEARC Board of Directors, to say thank you. Thank you for all that you did to make this Spring Virtual Conference run so smoothly. We could not do it without you and the whole DMEM Crew!

Leslie, as usual, you handled whatever came your way including the platform, zoom logistics, coordination and so much more. Thank you for taking care of all of these details and the big items too and for responding to all our questions and requests.  We really seem like Virtual Conference pros at this point! That being said, here’s to hoping that was our last virtual NEARC 😊

We look forward to many more successful conferences with you! Fall 2021 here we come!"

"I wanted to take a moment and sincerely thank you and your amazing team for converting your business model to support virtual conferences in the COVID environment. Trying to maintain any sense of continuity and comfort through such upheaval is difficult.

This event is yet another in the growing line of successful virtual conferences that are essential to the sustainability of our industry."

"​If you are planning a conference or event, Marie is the person you want to hire! She's managed our Better Buildings by Design conference for years and just transitioned us to a virtual conference for 2021. The conference went smoothly with great attendance and high participant satisfaction. Marie made everything easy for us and ensured we met core deadlines and covered all the fine details. I cannot wait to work with her on future events. Thank you, Marie!"

"We did it! Another successful conference! Thanks, in a huge part, to you! We, The NEARC Board, are in awe of you and your expertise, not to mention how you manage it all with a smile! Your help from the very beginning (practically a year ago) – keeping us on track, meeting deadlines, guiding the host committee – to all of the onsite work you do – registration, food, dealing with issues (wifi…ugh!) – is appreciated by all of us.

You’ve been with us for so many years, you are a part of our NEARC family. You may not understand all of our nerdy GIS speak, but you fit right in and we are so thankful you are with us."

Pam Brangan, Chair
NEARC Board of Directors
"You and your team did an outstanding job making the Annual celebration so spectacular - through all the digging, sorting, problem-solving, and filling-in-the-blanks, you make it all come together into one very memorable Burlington weekend. Not to mention the sunshine - we knew you were good, but that's really good. Our sincerest gratitude for taking on this very special project with such enthusiasm, energy and keen attention to detail. We are lucky to have such a strong partner in the team at Delaney! Thanks Again!"

"Once again - Cindy Sherwood and the amazing DMEM team are responsible for perhaps our best conference yet. After 38 years - that is saying a lot!!

Words cannot begin to convey my immense appreciation and admiration for Cindy S and all of you. Throughout the year as we plan together, Cindy is a phenomenally generous, patient, experienced, organized, and calming presence, no matter the circumstance. During our conferences Cindy and all of you work such magic and manage complexity and a constant flow of incoming demands that makes my head spin to even think about it. Sometimes in my mid-conference sleep deprived moments of not being very thoughtful - I contribute to that.🙄 No matter what gets thrown your way, you are all kind and patient and remarkably skilled at what you do.

Please know how profoundly grateful I am for each of you.  I truly cannot imagine better partners in the important work we do!

I look very much forward to this coming year and many more in the future.

May you all have wonderful holidays, and truly - THANK YOU!!"

​"On behalf of the MassCUE Board of Directors I want to say the biggest thanks for your work with our virtual conference, especially introducing us to Whova.  We are so very lucky to have the two of you assigned to our conference.  I just do not know where to begin to acknowledge all the behind the scenes work: emails to attendees, helping out at the last minute via Slack, attending all our long planning meetings, supporting vendor set-up step by step, creating incredible instructions for presenters and moderators, giving us great advice…. and so many other big and small ways of support that made our virtual conference a roaring success.  And all of this with a smile and so diplomatic in every situation!

Thanks for being part of our conference team and making our conference run smoothly and efficiently.  We look forward to our continued partnership." 

​Shelley B. Chamberlain, Executive Director
MassCUE
"Great, great job the last couple of days... I just wanted to say thank you again for your impeccable facilitation. You and the entire DMEM team are stellar. We appreciate your professionalism and attention to detail.  If we can help serve as a reference for your companies work in the future please don’t hesitate to ask. Cindy – thanks for assigning Leslie to this event. She was fabulous!"

"It was a pleasure working with you and your team to host the 70th Annual Conference of the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. Your team was instrumental in guiding our agency through the planning process. Each team member demonstrated tremendous skill and conducted business in a professional manner. Delaney Meeting & Event Management stayed one step ahead of the planning process and met each and every deadline. I was more than impressed with your team's ability to plan  a conference of this magnitude from 1600 miles away. Every detail was considered and every issue was addressed efficiently and confidently. Your team was guiding us every step of the way and remained front and center until the very end of the conference. I look forward to working with Delaney Meeting & Event Management in the future and recommend your team to manage conferences and events of any size."

"On behalf of the VNLA Board of Directors I would like to extend our gratitude and thanks for your participation on the Flower Show Committee. Your dedication to the Flower Show and the amount of hours put forth in the planning and production of this year's show is exceptional. Your role in the show is certainly one of the key's to the success.

The amount of time you and your staff put into the implementation, from planning, to set-up, to clean-up was exceptional. It is clear that your work and tending to every little detail has greatly contributed to the success of the show."
