In a structural and branding action that underscores the growing market prominence of The Coulter Companies, the firm announced a restructuring and rebranding of its four business units, Coulter Nonprofit Management (formerly Association Management Bureau), Coulter Events (formerly IntellEvents), Coulter Consulting and Coulter Creative, to seamlessly address accelerated growth across markets and clients. Concurrently, as part of the company's shift to equity sharing and recognition of the alignment of individual's ethos and commitment to the organization's mission, The Coulter Companies announced the promotion of Maria Efantis Brennan to Partner.
"Aligning our four primary disciplines as related business units under The Coulter Companies brand positions our enterprise for accelerated growth and market recognition. Our concurrent migration to an equity sharing model allows us to distribute the rewards of intelligent growth among those most central to our sustained excellence," said Thomas Coulter Gibson, CEO and Founder of The Coulter Companies. "Maria Brennan exhibits a style of strategic leadership that inspires her colleagues and our clients to excel. She demonstrates each and every day what it takes to be a partner in a growing enterprise."
Brennan, a Certified Association Executive (CAE), joined The Coulter Companies in 1998 and was made a member of Coulter's Executive Leadership Team in 2004. In addition to her corporate duties, Brennan serves as President of American Women in Radio and Television and the Foundation of American Women in Radio and Television, and has helped to propel this Coulter client to new levels of stature and significance.
"From my first day of employment with The Coulter Companies, I recognized this as an organization with the type of corporate ethos and integrity that enabled a deep career commitment," said Brennan. "The new market positioning of The Coulter Companies will allow us to demonstrate to a growing business audience our skills and passion for fueling client success."
