Kudos..

 Alan R. Shalita, M.D. Distinguished Teaching Professor & Chairman Sunny Downstate Medical Center 

Lori Scarafiotti is an outstanding young woman for whom I am most pleased to write this letter of recommendation. Lori served for many years as a Meeting Manager at Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation which she performed in outstanding fashion. I interacted with her on a regular basis when Dr. James Leyden and I were Program Directors for the annual Valley of the Sun Dermatology meetings run by Medicis. Since the termination of these meetings, I have interacted with Lori on numerous other occasions when she has organized and managed various other meetings for friends and consultants of Medicis. Now that Medicis has been sold, Lori has decided to launch her own meeting management company and I am quite confident that she will do this with the same energy, enthusiasm, and excellence that she demonstrated and performed at Medicis.

On a personal level, Lori is a delightful, charming and most agreeable young lady who conducts her business affairs with the highest degree of professionalism. She is conscientious and reliable. If I were to organize a meeting, Lori would be the first person I would turn for management skills and organization.”

Glenn H. Fuchs, M.D.

“As a physician I have participated in and worked with Ms. Scarafiotti in many meetings, both as an educational speaker and as an attendee. Specifically, I have been involved in many continuing educational meetings, including the Valley of the Sun Conference and the Winter Skin Meetings. I also participated in advisory boards for the company executives. In every case, these conferences were extremely successful. Lori has an outstanding knowledge of what it takes to plan and execute exemplary conferences, meetings and events. I have been involved in events with many dermatologic companies. Those meetings run by Ms. Scarafiotti are without a doubt the most outstanding.”

Diane Berson, M.D.

“Incredibly hard worker, creative, accomplishes all she sets out to do and more…warm, friendly, capable..everyone adores her. Lucky to have worked together…always perfect! Overall a special person.”

 Kenneth Beer, M.D. Dermatologist, Dermatopathologist and Clinical Investigator 

“Lori is the consummate professional. She plans an event down to the last detail so that anyone that works with her will never have to worry. I am also impressed with the fact that she helped me by providing advice and help when I began to plan events. She is a great resource for anyone looking to plan events and I cannot praise her enough.”

 Gary Bigler Owner, The Big Picture 

“It has been my pleasure to work with Lori now for over 15 years in several different capacities. I have always found her to be caring and conscientious. She has a knack for finding the right people to take care of a particular task and is always trying to develop the people who work for her and around her. She is aware of the individual and tries to make an impact for them personally as well as for the big group. She never gives up and knows that if she gives her people the tools, they will find a way to make sometimes the impossible happen. She has an eye for quality and always strives to make the next event better than the last. I always enjoy working with Lori and hope that I continue to work with her for many years to come.”

 Glen Drummond Senior Director, Learning & Development at Depomed, Inc. 

“I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Lori while at Medicis as she led the meetings and conventions team. Lori’s unwavering focus on the customer has set her apart from all others in her role. She was well planned and organized and extremely attentive to the needs of her stakeholders. Lori had a strong desire to grow and “perfect her art”, thus making coaching a true pleasure. Lori has proven to be a great asset in her role and I would absolutely welcome the opportunity to work with her again as well as highly recommend her.”

 Michael DeBoard Regional Account Manager at USWM 

“In my 10-plus years in association with Lori Scarafiotti, I know that Lori would be an asset to any organization who is in need someone to head up a meetings and conventions department or work in management of that capacity.

Lori has no “off” switch to her. She can be reached at any hour to attend to the needs of meeting or convention attendees and personnel. Her attention to the details of the meetings themselves as well as the needs and demands of management are amazing.

All this is due to a genuine kindness and regard for everyone involved and she will consistently bend over backward to accommodate. Lori is also full of new ideas to inject fun, excitement and variety into each meeting, making each one better than the last.”
