San Jose, CA – The Society for Advancement of Consulting® (SAC®) has announced a “Board Approved” designation for David J. Gardner in the specialty of Mass Customization Strategy and Implementation.

This signifies that Mr. Gardner has provided validated evidence from clients of exceptional performance in this area of consulting, has adhered to the ethics pledge of the organization, and has performed at this level for a prolonged period.

Board Approvals are rare and are held by less than 3% percent of the membership of SAC, and that membership is less than 1% percent of independent consultants worldwide due to stringent membership requirements. They are granted only after detailed client evidence is received and reviewed.

“We already have as our membership the most elite consultants practicing in the world,” says SAC CEO Alan Weiss, Ph.D. “To achieve this still higher level of performance in addition to our entry requirements is quite impressive. Clients who utilize SAC members who are Board Approved in their specialty are working with the best of the best in the world.”

SAC is an international association of solo practitioners who must provide validated proof of their high performance in consulting; successfully completed client engagements; testimonials from client executives; achieve a high level of professional income over a prolonged period; have worked with a minimum of 25 clients; and who adhere to a strict code of professional ethics. The members interact as an international community to better the profession and their own techniques.
