"Bower Management does a great job supporting our chapter. Tim and Andrea work very well around our everchanging schedules and are always willing to help our cause in any way that they can, in person, virtual, or by phone. They have been our chapter admin support for quite a few years now and we would not be able to function as efficiently as we do without their support. They are a true partner of the CFMA Philadelphia Chapter. I would highly recommend their services to any organization. Not only does Bower Management provide support, they are a valued, and integral partner that is committed to the success and growth of our organization."

"Tim Bower became Executive Director of the Estate & Financial Planning Council of Southern NJ 3 years ago at a time when the group needed better organizational oversight in that position. Unbeknownst to the Board, many of the responsibilities of the previous Executive Director were not being carried out. It was very challenging for Tim to take the reins under those circumstances but he did it without any complaints & a good attitude. Due to his excellent managerial, organizational, & technical skills, he has put us on a steadier path to success as we seek to improve & grow the organization. Tim has a lot of experience in this field & has provided the Board with many innovative ideas & suggestions as to how to increase our membership, sponsorship & market the organization better. We have been much more successful since we hired Tim."

"Tim Bower and Bower Management Services have helped our organization achieve success and growth. When we engaged BMS, we had just parted ways with our former executive director and were a council in complete disarray. In a short period of time, Tim restored order and confidence and put us back on track. As Council President, I relied on Tim and BMS to keep me organized and on point. I enjoy working with Tim, and I am inspired by his enthusiasm, energy, and integrity."

"I have been on the Board of the Southern New Jersey Estate and Financial Planning Council for these last three years since Tim Bower and Bower Management assumed responsibility for our administrative affairs. The first years as Vice-President, the second as president and this year as immediate past president. I was on this Board two years previous.
Tim stepped into our organization when our administrative matters were quite chaotic. He stepped in, organized matters what was not easy to organize and we continue to move forward in better and better ways each year.
My year as president was made much easier with Tim’s help. I previously recommended Tim to another organization that has engaged his services and gives glowing reviews as well. I think any organization would be very well served by engaging Tim’s services."

"I am the current President of the Certified Court Reporters Association of New Jersey (CCRA-NJ). We brought Bower Management Services on board as our Executive Director in January 2012. It was obvious from the start that Tim Bower was a professional in his field. He quickly learned about our industry and immediately went to work preparing budgets, planning events, implementing strategies for increasing membership, and handling other tasks in a timely and effective manner. His management style is hands-on and cooperative. He is open to suggestions and at the appropriate times takes the lead, bringing to the forefront his experience and expertise in the field of association management.
In the time Tim has worked with us he has managed three very successful conventions and various professional meetings. He has been present at all Board meetings and is always responsive to e-mail and phone contact.
Bower Management has redesigned and activated a new state-of-the-art website for us which has been effective in allowing our membership to interact with us over the Internet. Tim and his staff have been instrumental in putting together a mentorship program for our young professionals.
CCRA-NJ highly recommends Bower Management Services. We are very satisfied with their services."

"When I joined the Board of the Certified Court Reporters Association of New Jersey, I was surprised to learn that the association funds were dangerously
depleted. As I became more involved in association business, it was clear that one of the reasons for this issue was a lack of advice and assistance that
a professional management team could provide. Thus, CCRA-NJ conducted a search and identified Bower Management Services as a potential management
candidate.
I was the first person from CCRA-NJ to speak with Tim Bower during the search process, and the conversation could not have been more positive. Tim asked very pointed questions about the membership and the services provided thereto, the budget and how income was earned, the interaction of board members and the membership, and the role of the Executive Director. Within minutes of my telling Tim about our association of Certified Court Reporters, he had an understanding of the challenges we faced and offered many suggestions on how to go about meeting them, particularly in the area of convention planning and membership benefits.
Bower Management Services was engaged by CCRA-NJ to act as its Executive Director, and in the two years since its hiring, Tim and Andrea Bower have outperformed all expectations. The level of organization and professionalism that Tim and Andrea bring to their work is both refreshing and energizing.
Personally, I am very proud to say that Bower Management Services is the Executive Director of the Certified Court Reporters Association of New Jersey."

“Bower Management Services handles more than just administration for the NJ chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA NJ) – they have served as the backbone of our organization. From event planning and management to tracking activities and budgets to managing communications and conference calls, the Bower team has been instrumental in our organization’s success. Andrea and Tim are always willing to listen to suggestions and proactively suggest ideas to our Board of Directors on how to improve our programs and events. As a result, our membership has increased and our events have been well-attended. It’s been a pleasure and I look forward to continued success with Bower Management services by our side.“

“Several years ago when The Academy of Board Certified Environmental Professionals hired Bower Management to take over management of our organization we had high hopes that we would see great and positive change to the way we serve our membership and Bower hasn’t disappointed. We have seen consistent and regular growth with our membership. Our retention and member satisfaction has increased every year that Bower has managed our organization, resulting in the workload on the Board of Trustees becoming more focused and easier to manage. The entire Bower Team is so easy to work with. They listen, plan and react to the needs of the Board of Trustees and the organization as a whole. Bower pays close attention to our needs so that they are able to apply experience that they have gained managing other organizations to assisting us in streamlining our problem solving capabilities. Always at the ready to suggest a simpler way to do things, Bower keeps us clear of entanglements that sap energy, financial resources and strength from the volunteers in our group. Feedback from our membership has been overwhelmingly positive.”

“The Academy of Board Certified Environmental Professionals had struggled with management problems prior to hiring Bower Management. Hiring Bower Management has been a real turning point for the Academy. Andrea Bower acting as our Executive Administrator has focused on the internal workings of the Academy (i.e. getting applicants through the application process and into the review process and membership renewal). We have received rave reviews from applicants and members on the professionalism of these processes with Andrea and Jessica Orner of Bower Management. They have put us on a course of maximizing efficiency in these processes and financially stabilizing the Academy. This has allowed the Board of Trustees who are all volunteer professionals to focus their time on moving initiatives forward and managing their committees. We could not have gotten to where we are without Bower Management.”
