As one of my final official acts as Chairman of the Ocean Reef Club, I wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank you for the absolutely outstanding presidential search you performed for the Ocean Reef Club. Our entire Ocean Reef Club Search Committee was very impressed with your professionalism and hard work to identify the candidate who was the exact fit for the Ocean Reef Club. We were all very much aware that the Ocean Reef Club was not an easy assignment as we have few, if any, comparables to draw from.

The large group of outstanding candidates you provided for interviews greatly exceeded our original expectations. With your experience and guidance, we are very confident you have found for us the number one club president in North America and we are all very excited about the prospect of his taking us to the next level of excellence at our fine Club.

Again, thank you and your staff for a stellar effort on our behalf. We could not have been more pleased.

A long overdue note of “thanks” is due you and your organization. The search process for an Executive Manager at Hamilton Farm Golf Club was not an easy task, especially with the many "stipulations" we provided you with. Your determination and ability to keep coming back with exceptional candidates was very impressive. The professionalism and integrity that you and your firm exhibited throughout the process was unparalleled. The depth and knowledge you had of all the candidates you presented was exceptional. Your ability to provide numerous qualified professionals was critical to our ability to make a final decision.

I look forward to using John Sibbald Associates again in the future and please do not hesitate to use me for a reference should the need arise.

On behalf of the Jonathan Club, I want to thank you for your diligent efforts to bring our new General Manager to our club. You have recruited a truly fine man for this position.

The entire committee was impressed with your professionalism and the high quality of candidates presented. As you know, the Jonathan Club had never used a search firm and you confirmed the positive reasons for doing so. Your database is full of great talent.

Our entire committee thanks you!

We at the Field Club are very pleased with the outcome of this search and anxiously await our new General Manager’s arrival. I only did one smart thing in this entire process. The morning after my appointment as chairman, I called Mel Rex, General Manager of the Duquesne Club in Pittsburgh, to recommend a search firm. The rest, as they say, is history. Seriously, if we can ever be useful or serve as a reference, do not hesitate to call on us.
