Here's what others have to say about Andy Fryar.

"In any consultancy it is important for the client to have confidence in the consultant. Andy not only has an extensive knowledge of volunteering at local, state, national and international level, he is also a person of integrity which, to me, is an essential characteristic in working in the volunteer sector."

Peter Heyworth

Australasian Association of Volunteer Administrators

"I've been hearing about this wonder guy from OZ for several years, and I finally had the opportunity to meet him in person while in the US last year. His reputation is well deserved. What a smart, well connected, and gentle man Andy Fryar is.

"I look forward to many more opportunities to connect with him in the future, and recommend his consultancy work without hesitation."

“Andy is one of the leading lights in volunteerism internationally. His hard work, energy and commitment to the field are surpassed only by his extensive knowledge of volunteerism and his friendly & professional approach to his work”.

"I first "met" Andy online in 1999 when he began to respond to items on the Energize Web site, which led to him becoming our first guest contributor to the Hot Topic feature area (you can still read his essay at <energizeinc.com/hot/june99.phpl>).

His personality bounced out through cyberspace and I was immediately impressed by his enthusiasm, obvious commitment to the field of volunteer management, and strong interest in networking. It was also clear that here was someone informed about volunteerism in general and Australasian issues in particular.

We invited him onto the staff of our international journal, e-Volunteerism (<www.e-volunteerism.com>), from the start and he has been an extraordinary contributor, both as Manuscripts Developer and as the key Convening Editor of the Keyboard Roundtable section.

By the time we met in person - which, despite the distance, we've done three times now - Andy already felt like a friend as well as a valued colleague. And he was just as super in person! Andy is definitely someone to watch (and get to know) as the future of the profession."

"Thank you for taking the time to visit us at the Woodland Trust, I personally found your comments / advice very helpful and am currently scoping how volunteers can support our team at a local level, and in the regions.

Frankly, it was perfect timing as we have reached a stage where developing resources is foremost in our thoughts."
