Greater Hartford YMCAHartford, CT “The characterization I have of Steve Cramer, as a result of my several years of interaction with him, is of a man of dignity, keen intelligence and significant professional experience. I found him to be knowledgeable in all aspects of financial development, highly ethical in his manner, and able to interact successfully with campaign volunteers and potential donors. At my request, Steve additionally served on the faculty (pro bono) of our YMCA Financial Development School for three years and was a valued resource in that role.” Robert B. Hoffman, |
Palma High SchoolSalinas, CA “It gives me great pleasure to recommend Steve Cramer of the highest degree... Steve provided consulting services to Palma for two years enabling us to accomplish a five-year Institutional Strategic Plan, a pro-forma Audit of the Institutional Advancement Function and Department, a Three-Year Institutional Advancement Plan, and a Feasibility Study. Steve conducted his on-site visits with great enthusiasm and warmth as he fit into the school’s personality and culture very nicely... Steve’s personality and character made him an accepted member of the school staff in a very short period of time and was instrumental in his working so well on our behalf with the wider local community of alumni and friends of the school”.
