Client Testimonials

“The NDTA needed to change management associations in late 2023 following a tumultuous previous year and a half. We needed listening, communication and partnership resulting in responsive action. Cameron's association management experiences aligned well with the needs of NDTA. C2, Cameron, and her staff introduced new technology avenues to support the needs of the membership. As an organization that provides education, their work supports a more robust approach and increasing efficiency. Cameron and her team have taken the time to listen and learn from us and offering recommendations that will lead to overall success.”

“Working with C2 Association Strategies is one of the best operational decisions we have made at our association. Cameron an exceptional strategic partner, and the staff she has hired to work with our team have been top notch. Not only are they notable experts in their respective fields, but they also have fit right into the association culture.

“During our first year with C2 Association Strategies, our executive director and her team helped us calibrate and prioritize strategic needs. She is an excellent sounding board, and our organization has benefited from her wealth of knowledge. Although she is very experienced, she approaches situations with active listening and patience – never dictating the next move. I personally have appreciated the opportunity to learn from her. She is professional and friendly – making her an easy partner to work with. She prioritizes what is best for the organization and helps to keep us focused. We were delighted to have an opportunity to work with Cameron for a 6-month check-in to reflect on our time with the company so far. Clearly C2 Association Strategies has a strong emphasis on feedback and continued improvement.”

“C2 helped turn around our organizational finances in a relatively quick amount of time. They brought a streamlined and responsible approach to our budgeting and expenditure execution that adapted to our then financial situation and instituted steps that brought us financial security for years to come. Additionally, their commitment and diligence has led to unprecedented corporate member recruitment and an increase in our general membership as well. Our association, without a doubt, is in far better shape thanks to the efforts of C2.”

“Cameron’s exceptional leadership and expertise were instrumental in guiding the strategic planning process for the National Association of County Engineers (NACE). She worked closely with our executive Committee to design surveys to obtain input from our entire membership. The input process she developed was the foundation for our entire strategic planning effort. Both early on and especially during our strategic planning retreat, Cameron’s ability to facilitate discussions, synthesize diverse perspectives, and drive consensus among committee members was invaluable, especially since we had limited time to do this work. Cameron's strategic insights and commitment to helping us develop a new, modern and meaningful mission and vision, helped us develop a clear and actionable plan for the future.”

“The Alliance for Innovative Regulation was looking for a fractional chief marketing officer (CMO) to support our growing and evolving needs related to marketing, communications, branding, and event management. I reached out to Cameron Curtis, with C2 Association Strategies, to explore options and she immediately suggested we consider an organizational assessment so that she could better understand our strengths and weaknesses, assess the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, and determine opportunities for improvement. While this assessment began with a primary focus on marketing and communications, there were broader themes that developed during the process. Cameron’s leadership skills shined as she led our leadership team through a review and discussion of the recommendations from the assessment. Lastly, we engaged Cameron and her team to fill the fractional CMO role. The fractional CMO is great and has seamlessly integrated into our leadership team and day-to-day operations. I really appreciate Cameron always taking my call or text to share her perspective or help us meet the ongoing needs of our non-profit.”

Chair, Association of Air Medical Services - 2018-2019

President/CEO (retired), The Center for Emergency Medicine/STAT MedEvac

Cameron was an outstanding leader – as President of the Association of Air Medical Services – to work with. Upon taking over the role, she courageously jumped into attacking the desperately needed improvements to the financial performance, strategic vision, and cultural black holes created by her predecessor, and she thoughtfully and energetically attempted to create alignment within a very fractured, confused, and/or immature set of industry providers with solid data, analytics, process discipline and focus, and the result is an industry trade association - and industry itself - that has a clearer vision to a more financially viable future.

Michael Preissler

Global Medical Response

My 40 plus year career in the air medical industry has provided me with the opportunity of working with a few outstanding professionals. Cameron Curtis is an excellent example of those extraordinary individuals. During the height of COVID and the financial stressors created during this period Cameron was unwavering in her leadership. Her strengths include internal and external messaging, financial reporting and compliance. She is a compassionate and ethical professional whom I fully trust.

Society of Interventional Oncology

The World Congress of Interventional Oncology started as a standalone international meeting for physicians passionate about image-guided cancer therapy. When Cameron took the reins as our ED in 2016, we were a virtual organization with an educational website and an annual meeting. Within 18 months, Cameron steered us into becoming a full-fledged membership association of several hundred physicians, the Society of Interventional Oncology. We now have a growing membership base, year-round live and virtual educational programs, membership affiliations in Asia and Latin America, and millions of dollars invested in research grants and clinical trials.

Former Staff

I worked with Cameron for 6 years and she served as my manager for almost 5 of those years during a crucial time in my career for professional development. Cameron was able to give me feedback in a way I could grow from it and she taught me to stop taking things personally. For lack of better words – she toughened me up! Through her guidance I became more comfortable communicating directly and not shying away from confrontation. She is also a great listener. Her office had an open-door policy and was a friendly and safe space for everyone – even if they didn’t work directly with her. She was always happy to help anyone on our teamwork through a problem or see it from a different perspective. This helped build strong relationships within her team and it extended to our clients as well. When she took on challenging clients, she was always able to quickly establish trust and confidence through her hard work and friendly demeanor. I am always in awe of how Cameron is able to balance her workload and make time for so many of her colleagues throughout the day and it’s inspiring. I would not be the planner I am today if not for Cameron’s support, guidance, and leadership.

Sarah Bookwalter, CMP, Meeting Manager, Courtesy Associates – A SmithBucklin Subsidiary

I was fortunate enough to work with Cameron while she was the Executive Director for the Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association. While serving as Executive Director, Cameron strengthened the association and oversaw an increasingly successful annual meeting. From the beginning, Cameron was a caring and supportive leader. She has a unique talent for making everyone feel welcome and creating an environment in which each person is set up for success. She entrusted me with increasing responsibilities that nurtured my professional development and allowed me to enhance my skill set. I am grateful for the lessons I learned while working with her, and the support she continues to provide to this day. I would be lucky to have the opportunity to work with her again and am happy to recommend her as an outstanding colleague in our industry.

Kendra Speak, PMP, CMP, Meeting Coordinator, Courtesy Associates – A SmithBucklin Subsidiary

Cameron is the type of leader who makes you want to go the extra mile. I jumped at every opportunity I had to work with her because I knew she'd encourage me to flex my creativity and challenge me to grow professionally. She inspires her team to approach complex situations with innovation, and she rewards good ideas with the freedom to see them through.

I worked alongside Cameron as she launched the Society of Interventional Oncology and brought the organization to the forefront of the global cancer care community. She leveraged her own experience and her team's expertise to develop new membership, research, and grant programs. Cameron keeps her eye on the bottom line while staying true to the mission, and the result is unmatched success.

Lindsay LaForest, Marketing & Communications Project Manager, SmithBucklin

ASAE Volunteer

I worked closely with Cameron as a volunteer for ASAE's Meetings & Exposition Advisory Council for six years. Cameron became the chair of the advisory council and helped lead the group in developing tools and resources for team members in organizations that are part of the design, development and delivery of meetings and events. She was instrumental in helping ASAE "red team" a 40 year old event and as a consequence helped to co-create a new event designed to help organizations envision their events through a new lens. She also helped develop tools that would give insights and direction on key meeting trends: outsourcing versus insourcing; Transitioning from a buyers to a sellers market; ROI tool kit for meeting attendees; crisis communications template; Event strategic planning; and so much more. Through her time on the M&E Advisory Council, Cameron demonstrated her skills in thought leadership, innovation, communication, leadership, consensus building as well as team building. She continues to be a great model of the type of volunteer that any organization would be thrilled to have as part of their leadership community. Cameron Rocks!
