Lisa far and away has been the very best, which is why we have contracted Curly Dog Communications again ....
I find Lisa to be incredibly well organized, task driven, effective communicator, exhibiting a high work ethic, and most important, committed to her client and the achievement of their goals.

We are so thankful for all your hard work during the international meeting. And many thanks for your support as we form a new society. You are just wonderful!
• Marion Couch, MD on behalf of the Cancer Cachexia Society
Her attention to detail is unbelievable, nothing gets lost, nothing is forgotten and most importantly Lisa is calm and flexible when things go wrong, and always finds a solution.
Lisa has lovely interpersonal skills, and clearly has a high EQ and "gets" people, figuring out how they like to work and adapts her approach accordingly.
For me, this really set her apart from many others I have worked with. She worked skilfully with a variety of personalities. She instils confidence, a sense of being in control all done in the calmest of manners. She looks for and is responsive to feedback.

Lisa Lipowski and her CDC team have gone above and beyond our expectations.

CDC brings excellent experience and professionalism to any organization needing
management of events, academic symposia or conference.
I am writing to offer my recommendation for CDC as your event/conference organizer.... Despite huge potential obstacles, including an event location under construction until a
few days before the event, our symposium was smooth and seamless in line with our
day to day programming.

Nous pouvons vous assurer que Mme Lisa Lipowski, présidente de Curly Dog ainsi que son équipe ont su montrer une grande passion pour leur travail, nous donnant entière satisfaction en s'acquittant de leurs tâches avec promptitude et une grande attention aux détails.
Nous avons eu le privilège de travailler avec la firme de communications Curly Dog Inc. au courant de la dernière année en vue de l'organisation de notre « Premier symposium international sur la recherche en interventions en sciences infirmières » qui a eu lieu en avril dernier à Montréal. En raison de circonstances imprévisibles, nous avons dû changer de firme de communications au courant de la planification de l'événement. Nous avons alors engagé la firme Curly Dog Inc. qui a su prendre la relève en démontrant un professionnalisme impeccable. Nous estimons que le succès de notre événement est dû à la grande qualité du travail produit par cette dernière.
