“I have had the good fortune to work with Carolyn and the CMR staff over most of the last 10 years on several stakeholder files including engagement and strategic planning with respect to Corporate structure. I found the company to be responsive, knowledgeable and proactive. CMR was instrumental in bringing together several companies that were competitors in a geographical area to form a user group that made sure residents’ concerns were heard and that they were informed of activity well ahead of time. The group gained credibility under Carolyn’s leadership with good public relations in the form of town Halls , attendance at local functions and distribution of factual materials that were simple and easy to follow for non-oil and gas people.
