| “Stewart Strategies
Group augmented our executive and existing
marketing teams to successfully meet the
challenges and opportunities of scaling
up the growth and marketing program for
our ground breaking technology. They brought
tremendous insight and expertise to appraise
our marketing strategies. In providing
a thorough market validation and analysis,
as well as a direction for new user segments
and focus on disruptive markets, they took
nothing for granted: They questioned assumptions,
challenged our assertions, and helped us
to think in ways that best supported the
next phase of our company's development.” |

“I
am writing to provide the strongest
possible recommendation for Art Stewart…
His
writing is lucid and fluent with a
commendable sense of style. He has
a keen understanding of policy issues
and an equally sharp ability to argue
his case persuasively. He has read widely
and is therefore conversant with a wide
range of subject areas.
He would be
an enormous asset to any nonprofit
organization, government agency or
corporate entity that is involved in
public policy and advocacy work. His
credentials as private consultant with
his own firm make him an especially prized
commodity for any group that is interested
in strengthening its performance.” |

“Dear Art:
I do not think that I have adequately thanked you for the excellent work you
and your company did for us around the mediation with St. James-the-Less, the
visits to the four FIFNA parishes, the dispute with the Preservationists over
the Cathedral, etc. What you and I witnessed… in terms of the unity of the
Diocese can be directly attributed to the kind of work you did…
Please know of my gratitude for you and all the ways in which you have helped
us.” |

“Art
Stewart is a creative and dynamic professional
communicator who has provided exemplary
service to the American Guild of Organists
in a variety of roles. He served the Guild as a professional strategist
and publicist for ‘Pipes Spectacular
- World's Largest Organ Concert,' a nationwide
series of multidisciplinary, multi-cultural
musical events designed to develop new
audiences for the King of Instruments
and to raise money for the endowment
of our national organization. The event
received widespread public notice and
was successful in meeting its financial
and educational goals.
Art has always
provided valuable advice to our not-for-profit
entity serving 20,000 professional musicians
devoted to the organ and its literature.
Mr.
Stewart is a bright, lively, and energetic
fellow whose unflagging enthusiasm is
matched by his leadership skills and
the consistent excellence of his work.
He delivers the goods.” |

His writing and research in the areas of leadership, branding, marketing, strategic planning and change management are exemplary and qualify in my view as true thought leadership. He has been instrumental in the strategic positioning, competitive advantage analysis and marketing approach for Peregrine’s nonprofit arts consulting practice. His is generosity of spirit, tremendous knowledge of management practice, personal resources and keen analytic thinking…” |

In addition to adding much to the discussions around the diversity work we do… Art’s willingness to give of his time and his talents, as well as his warmth and engaging communication style, was appreciated by those of us that had the pleasure to work with him on the committee. I believe Art exemplifies someone who identifies challenges, drives dialogue and creates connections to facilitate solutions.” |

“Dear Art,
Thank you very much for being a part of the (Episcopal Church’s 72nd) General Convention news team. It goes without saying that we could never have responded to the electronic media so thoroughly without you. You were such a valuable addition to the effort that we’ve already been talking about having to get two Art Stewarts next time.
With our greatest gratitude…” |

His passion and ability to articulate ideas, both orally and in writing, would especially benefit organizations that deal with important public policy issues. He also has great energy and experience, which is a rare combination.” |
