A Trusted Ally... "Richard Kamenitzer has been my consulting 'strong shoulder to lean on' for over 15 years. He has worked with me in four different institutional settings, ranging from an Independent College, a community arts organization to a large multi-campus university. His knowledge of systems, facilities, finance and personnel is at such a high level, that I cannot imagine an organizational issue that he would not effectively address. In addition to being balance sheet, and outcomes oriented, his "bedside manner" with clients, large and small, is considerate and confidence building. I am often pleased to recommend my trusted ally, Richard Kamenitzer and his consulting practice to prospective clients." William F. Reeder Dean, College of Visual & Performing Arts George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia Extraordinary Analysis, Clear Articulation "Richard Kamenitzer has been working with the Olney Theatre Center for the Arts for three years. In a very short period of time, he has been able to assess the intricate operations of a not for profit theater within the context of its artistic mission and operating objectives. Richard is able to grasp the heart and soul of a sixty-year-old institution, understand the financial operations and present an extraordinary analysis distilled into a clearly articulated business plan. Not only has the business plan been critical in accompanying grant applications, but also the plan has given validity to the theater as a professional business. Through his compassion and understanding of the particular challenges to our arts and education goals, Richard has given us innumerable ways to present a solid identity for the OTC in written and oral communication. We regard Richard as a core member of our strategic management team and as a dear and loyal friend of our artistic family." Debra L. Kraft Managing Director,Olney Theatre Center for the Arts Olney, Maryland A Leader "There is a seriousness and calm front to Richard Kamenitzer's extraordinary consulting abilities whether he is resolving problems of accounting, strategic planning, capacity building or issues of governance. During the four years that Pyramid Atlantic has worked with Richard as a consultant for its business plan, acquisition and development of property, and implementation of database programs, our staff and Board of Directors has received the best of professional and around -the -clock nurturing advice to grow the organization. Richard has the knack of sitting at all tables and listening to concerned voices, entering into the conversation at just the right moment to enable and enlighten participants on salient points. He is challenging, since the points he makes are delivered in a sound business management style, intended to work and re-work the limits and assets of the organization. Richard is truly a major behind -the -scenes leader that every organization needs and needs to cherish; his advice, one-on-one and to the whole, moves ahead the community of non profits on every level."
