"Renee McGivern has worked with our association for the past three years to provide web site development and content (www.chooseconcrete.com), a member e-newsletter, a printed quarterly newsletter, and event promotion and presentations. Renee is a self-starter who is able to work with staff to plan and execute a comprehensive and effective communications program. Renee’s experience as a journalist is very helpful in her work with our members who want help featuring their projects and services. They appreciate Renee’s direct approach in gathering information and organizing that information in formats that are useful to them. I would highly recommend Renee to any organization who is looking for an efficient and effective communications consultant."

"Thanks for your work on the “It’s a Family Affair” article for our latest newsletter, Renee.  It perfectly captures the reasons we selected The Streeters as Lupus Ambassadors and showcases their passion, love and talents!  Your inclusions of comments from all three of them made a piece that has been extremely well received and one to which many folks can relate.  Thank you!"

Sara Otto, Lupus Foundation of Minnesota, Bloomington, Minnesota

"Renee provided our grantees with a fantastic opportunity to hone their presentation skills.  From teaching them to set the tone to helping them develop clear objectives, she took a group of content experts and turned them into a cohort of confident trainers.  Renee is a pleasure to work with and talented consultant."
Cameron Kruger, Lake Superior Initiative, United Way, Duluth, Minnesota

"Spark Plug Consulting produces a twice-weekly news digest that our trustees, presidents and communicators appreciate for its statewide perspective. Renee's professional, media saavy and anticipates our needs. She's a delight to work with."
Melinda Voss, Director of Public Relations, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system

"Renee met with our group and asked a lot of questions about our organization, audience we would be targeting and our comfort level with technology. From one meeting, she was able to quickly put together an estimate for a webinar and podcasts that assured us a secure process and system for broadcasting and recording. Her high level of professionalism made it fairly effortless on our part to deliver both the webinar and podcasts as we envisioned.

Jennifer Gilhoi, Communications Director, Minnesota chapter, American Institute of Architects
