RGI takes care of the day-to-day processes for NALS. Having a full-time job and trying to do everything that RGI does for NALS would become a full-time job in itself!

To 100% go with RGI. They will be thrilled at the staff coverage, help provided, and overall experience with RGI handling their association. You don’t know opportunities your association is missing until you partner with RGI and benefit from their vast knowledge. We had an association that was dying and had many administrative issues. Since partnering with RGI we have experienced a real uptick in positivity from our membership and the legal community.
I am so glad that I was able to have the opportunity to be a Marketing and Communications Intern at RGI! My internship was a fantastic experience in such a welcoming environment, and it allowed me to grow more as a professional designer. I will be able to use the skills I grew and learned while interning here in my future professional career.
From the moment we were vetting RGI for our purposes through now, RGI has made us feel like we are a valued client every day. Leslie and Mark spent many meetings with the decision-makers for the switch to RGI. In these meetings, they made sure even if we did not choose RGI that we were aware of the issues and concerns they saw which would have to be addressed no matter what route we decided to take. They explained why these items needed to be addressed and best practices to use.
“You are so wonderful—still can’t believe how little stress I felt last week before/during the symposium. You really had such a major role putting on this event and it was such a great event. Thanks for all that you did”
RGI has been very instrumental in our growth as an organization. I really can’t even imagine CHPA functioning without them. Our team is invaluable and very active. Given that most of the board members are busy executives, this is particularly critical. We are an industry with a large percentage of entrepreneurs. Folks are very engaged and actively volunteer BUT we really needed the structure and the active, intelligent participation and organization that RGI provides. I am confident that no other company could have gotten as far as we have gotten.
Do it [Partner with RGI] – you won’t regret it. RGI helped our association take it to the next level when we made the move and now, 10 years later, we are most pleased with where we have come from and where we are going.
RGI really understands our industry. At times, it is hard to believe that they aren’t industry members and yet, they bring that objectivity needed. Further, our organization has never been more focused on key issues. They have really helped us address the needs of membership, delineate the mission of the organization in detail helping us develop a strategic plan with key milestones and goals. It has really helped keep us on track.
RGI has a wonderful staff that runs efficiently and professionally. A tremendous group of hard workers that always give 100% to the cause.
The two most significant improvements [from working with RGI] are 1) level of professionalism within the industry and to the general public; 2) increased membership resulting in higher revenues enabling the organization to focus on areas that will continue to help our mission and allow us to grow even more.
Association leaders have significant responsibility to represent their fellow members’ interests and be good stewards of members’ financial investment in the organization. Working with RGI is the best choice you can make to ensure that you are leading your association in the right direction.
When my associations have looked to reinvent themselves and plan for the future, I have turned to RGI for their help in having us map out strategic plans. RGI’s team expertly helps boards focus on trends, outcomes and soliciting broad input from key stakeholders in crafting a plan, many times helping these leaders re-envision where the organization should be and how to most effectively and impactfully get there. On each plan that the RGI team has helped us craft, the organization has keenly focused on results – and our members have benefitted greatly from it.
RGI IS A CRUCIAL MEMBER OF OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM. Their team is actively engaged in and focused on strategically managing our needs and helping us achieve our goals. The support we receive from RGI is at the core of our success, including membership growth. RGI helps us with a variety of business initiatives and they represent us with the utmost professionalism in delivering the services and support needed by our volunteer leaders.
As CHPA’s partners, RGI provides best-in-class talent sourcing and deployment to ensure association objectives are met. RGI spends the time to ensure articulation of a vision by association leaders then and works with them to develop plans and actions to achieve those goals.
RGI has been extremely responsive to the needs of our professional organization. As our membership continues to change, RGI has been an excellent partner to provide us with the resources we need. In the past few years, they have provided valuable direction to our organization for refining our strategy and goals and they have assisted us in finding new resources to serve members. They are always there to assist us in brainstorming solutions to address our emergent needs. RGI provides confidence and stability and is the key to attracting volunteers to serve on our board.
A significant result of the CHPA/RGI partnership is the development of CHPA’s strategic plan, resulting in improved financial results, increased engagement with members and a revamped website. Thanks to RGI’s partnership, CHPA benefitted from implementation of detailed processes and procedures to ensure appropriate operational/financial controls exist for organizational continuity.
From my perspective, SNEB has benefited greatly from being an RGI client. We have become a much smarter, fiscally responsible organization. Thank you to you and the other staff members.
Having served on the board of directors for the Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA) for the last five years and as the current chair of the board, I can’t tell you how much I have appreciated the RGI management team and their ability to effectively support our evolving needs.
We have been pleased with RGI’s professionalism, responsiveness and organizational skills. In addition to improving the operations of our association, RGI has been instrumental in improving the organization of our annual meetings. RGI has also provided an editor for our quarterly newsletter who has significantly stepped up the quality of the content and layout, much to our members’ benefit. The improved newsletter has attracted many new advertisers and sponsors to our organization and has encouraged increased levels of support from our current sponsors. We are an association of professional consultants and appreciate RGI’s openness when discussing scope and budget for their services.
RGI brings a great deal of professionalism to the table and has systems that are set up to make processes flow smoothly as an organization. They also have brought great financial stability to the organization by watching all the details and actively engaging the board and the executive committee in all aspects of running the association without bogging everyone down, as we all have businesses to run.
