The Experience of Others With Charles Van Rysselberge
“Charles was able to provide information and motivation to lead us to places that, I am convinced we would not have been able to go without his direction. I had the pleasure of working with Charles on the process of merging and unifying three separate Chambers of Commerce into one in Williamson County, TN. Throughout his career, Charles accomplished big things and has catalogued them in a way to bring them to bear in his consulting. Charles was a key player in our organization’s successful process!”
—Brad Dunn, 2012-13 Board Chairman, Williamson County (TN) Chamber of Commerce
“I could easily recommend Charles if you are considering someone with vast knowledge about how a Chamber works and gets ideas about how to coordinate revenue enhancement and a wealth of other objectives. Charles has great experience in working with governmental bodies and how the government and Chamber can work in partnership. We helped arrange a meeting with Charles and our Mayor and they were able to discuss ways that the Chamber and the City can partner to better the community.”
—Woody C. Schick, 2012 Board Chairman, Greater Shreveport (LA) Chamber of Commerce
“Your thoughts and comments to the Board on “what could be” and how you have achieved those outcomes at a number of your past engagements was just the encouragement needed to eliminate resistance and sparked several plans of action. I liked the way you led our Board through the analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. I would highly recommend you to any Chamber that is considering a consultant to focus a Chamber toward new goals and achievements.”
—Donald R. Boyken, 2012 Board Chairman, Dunwoody (GA) Chamber of Commerce
“Prior to your 2011 presentation and work with the group, there was no interest from the leadership in bringing a consultant in…they focused on the bad economy and waiting until things got better before thinking of funding Cape Fear Future Initiatives. The frank and insightful presentation you made and the experiences that you shared caused a game change. You convinced our Board that they should hire a fund raising consultant. That never would have happened without your presentation and leadership.”
—Connie Majure-Rhett, CCE President & CEO, Wilmington (NC) Chamber of Commerce
“It is my honor to nominate a Super Star, Charles H. Van Rysselberge, CCE, for Honorary Life Membership of ACCE (American Chamber of Commerce Executives Association) in 2013. Charles is truly a career Chamber Executive, having served over 40 years in his chosen profession. I have observed his development from Day One. A comment made by one of his largest investors of the Charleston (SC) Chamber that I heard while sitting in on one of his Board meetings says it all. He said, The one thing that gives me comfort and justifies my increased investment, since Charles got here, is when I read the morning paper, I know the Chamber is involved in the major issues being discussed. Charles has given his life to chamber management, and has been a credit to the profession.”
—Gerald L. Bartels, CCE, 1983-1996 President & CEO, Metro Atlanta (GA) Chamber of Commerce
