"Professor Maurrasse offered a relevant and inspiring talk to a diverse group of mid-career executives, grounded in economic reality and drawing on his past and recent applied research. ... He offered insight into trends of partnering and strategic alliance between large institutions and their community-based neighbors as a means to more effective outreach and corporate responsibility. ... [H]is professional experience as professor, consultant, and foundation executive has shaped his awareness of our constituents' needs and opportunities."

"David's depth of knowledge and appealing manner combined to create a rich learning experience for his audience ... [b]ased in no small part to his ability to combine his scholarly expertise with an effective public presentation style."



-- Dr. Steven Jones
Campus Compact
 




"[David Maurrasse's] presentation was especially powerful for our audience. [He is] able to look at problems and issues from three perspectives: that of the academic, the non-profit executive and the philanthropic organization."



-- Linda Gill Taylor
University of Missouri
 




From nationally known scholars like Professor Barry Checkoway to leading national practitioners like Barbara Holland, David Maurrasse was the one name that kept rising to the top. ... He is very effective in bridging the theoretical and the practice of work between universities and their communities, and speaks easily to both audiences, even when they are together in the same room.
