I have worked with Brett Wangman for over 10 years now. We were first introduced to him through Higher Logic after we had a very troublesome integration process with our previous consultant. Brett came in and helped us get things off the ground in an easy and practical way – helping us successfully navigate the perils of launching a new site while learning some key strategies to help us better work with our members. After moving to a new association, one of my first calls was to Brett. Now, after two site upgrades and other side projects, we still come back to Brett to support our efforts. His help has been invaluable to keep us moving forward. I highly recommend him for any of your association’s Higher Logic needs – he’s awesome!

We met Brett Wangman of TCAG at a Higher Logic conference. After hearing his presentation on public facing websites and private online community integration, we knew he was who we needed to help us tackle our new website and community relaunch project. Brett helped us build a new website for the Missouri Realtors Association on the Higher Logic CMS and integrate it with our online community on a very short deadline. He helped us scope out the work and meet all of our initiatives for the site including single sign-on. Brett’s knowledge and understanding of the association world, member needs and the Higher Logic platform proved invaluable. We have kept Brett on as our technology consultant and he continues to assist us with new projects involving integration between our AMS and online platforms. We appreciate his ability to understand our goals, research and identify options for execution and translate technical jargon to our team. Brett continues to go above and beyond helping troubleshoot issues, challenges us to think outside the box and is readily available when we call on him.

Brett was recommended to us by Higher Logic to build our new website, link it with our AMS and fully embrace the functionality of the Higher Logic community platform. Brett succeeded in all fronts and our members love our new site. In our community (UConnect), our members ask and answer clinical and practice management questions from peers. The UConnect has become a huge component of member value.
Brett and TCAG combine technical skill sets with strong and frequent communication—a rare skill for developers. TCAG functions as a partner helping SVU reach new markets. We will continue to leverage TCAG’s expertise on future projects.

Launching a new website on a new platform—and integrating that platform with a new database and collaborative site—was a daunting prospect for our small nonprofit. Someone suggested that we seek help from Brett Wangman at TCAG, and we are forever grateful for that recommendation. Working with Brett has been a pleasure from start to finish. Brett listened carefully to our needs and asked the right questions to help us get where we needed to be. His knowledge of how nonprofits and associations operate, combined with his technical expertise and understanding of collaboration management, is a very rare and winning combination. The integration and launch went without a hitch and has worked smoothly ever since.
Brett’s support did not end with the launch; he has been there to give advice and assistance as we have needed it. I cannot think of another organization where the president—or any employee, for that matter—is as accessible, responsive, or helpful as Brett has been. We feel extremely lucky to have worked with Brett on our project and he will be our go-to partner on any future project.

I have worked with Brett Wangman for over three years and have launched two major web sites during that time. He has provided insights into association best practices regarding web site design, integration, communications, and member engagement. Brett has personally been very responsive when we have questions and has effectively acted on our behalf working with service providers on developing new features. I strongly recommend Brett’s services from concept to implementation to adapting to association member needs.

Contextual has partnered with TCAG and its president, Brett Wangman, since we first started delivering content management solutions for non-profits and associations back in 2006, and it has been a truly rewarding experience for us and for our (mutual) clients. TCAG’s full-range association management capabilities coupled with Brett’s management, technical acumen, attention to detail, and desire to help a customer achieve success lie directly with our own goals and motivations, and are really unique.
We feel as though TCAG and Brett represent the same ‘lean and mean’, value-oriented, professional and invested approach that we like to take with clients. We’ve been close partners with TCAG and Brett over the years – long enough that Brett and I can sometimes finish each other’s thoughts – and plan to continue partnering on technical association projects with TCAG into the future.
I can’t recommend Brett and TCAG enough. Anyone lucky (and smart) enough to work with Brett and his team at TCAG will realize they’re enjoyable to work with, actually care about their clients, and are providing more value for investment than the other options out there.
