Strategic Planning Session Results:
“Although the board members I work with are
extremely competent and the group has achieved numerous
successes, for some reason efforts to have productive
strategic planning sessions have had a history of less than
positive results. Hardy Smith was able to create a very
successful planning session for our Board of Directors.
Board members were engaged and left the session with a
feeling of genuine accomplishment!” (Beth Butera, Director,
FUTURES Foundation for Volusia County Schools).

“We are
getting amazing registrations for your fundraising seminar.
I just sent it out and already have 61 RSVPs. We have never
had this many responses so soon.”
“Hardy is
an expert in all things nonprofit and fundraising. We are
even seeking his expertise in raising funds for our own
nonprofit foundation. His down to earth approach makes a
very complicated topic seem easy to handle, manage, and
completely doable. I recommend seeking Hardy and his
experience out when you have fundraising and nonprofit
guidance needs.” Monica Wofford, Speaker, Author, Trainer,
Coach, and Dean of National Speakers Association of Central
Florida Speaker’s Academy (monicawofford.com)

Hardy
Smith is an impact player to any organization or event. He
brings a wealth of valuable experience in such topics as
fundraising, event planning and promotion, team building,
and overall organizational performance. His philosophy,
ideas, and strategies are creative, innovative, and most
important are proven techniques that produce positive
results and maximize outcomes. Hardy is made out of the
“right stuff”. He is responsible, trustworthy, and will earn
your respect with his work ethic and passion to make a major
difference in whatever task or opportunity he is granted.
His involvement with our Eagles Athletic Association has
helped us reach a different level of success. Without a
doubt, I highly endorse Hardy Smith as a potential teammate
for your organization!
