“Super job tonight!!! It could not have been any better (same as last night). I am really really proud of everything that you all have done for the meeting this year!!! Many many thanks for ALL that you have done and accomplished! I think you have set a new standard for the AO meeting!! Many many thanks.”

“As a past member of the Board of Regents, then vice president, president-elect and president, I have worked very closely with the EAI staff over many years. They have made our organizational meetings financially more successful every year through hard work, creative ideas and development of close relationships with health care company sponsors.”

“There are only a few things I will miss about College leadership after I pass the gavel. Working closely with you and your staff will be one of the greatest things that I will greatly miss. It has truly been an honor and a pleasure.”

“As President of American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, I would like to thank you and your colleagues at EAI for all you have done to help build our organization into the world class professional society it is today.

I would also like to formally recognize EAI’s reputation for creating outstanding and innovative conventions. Your organization has certainly helped ACAAI to achieve positive growth. Thanks to the diligent efforts of EAI, our organization has grown from 1,700 members to more than 6,000. . . and increased its assets from $500,000 to more than $20 million.”

“Mr. Slawny and his staff took the College from a ‘shoe box’ management situation to a thriving, financially sound organization in just a few years. Obviously, this is a real tribute to staff’s business acumen.”

“You were extremely helpful during a stressful time, and my family and I really appreciate it. You have always been helpful to AO and the directors/officers since I have known you – that has never changed. One of the best aspects of working in the leadership of AO is being able to work with Kevin Smith, Mike Slawny and the entire staff of EAI.”

“The EAI management staff strengths are summed up as follows: they produce an excellent annual meeting, the best in the profession; they are competent; have good follow-up and are good at getting corporate support.”
