Society for Advancement of Consulting Elevates Andrew J. Birol to Board Approved Status

The Society for Advancement of Consulting (SAC) has approved another member to achieve the rare SAC^® Board Approved designation. This approval means that the consultant has worked in a specialized area for a considerable length of time; has provided detailed, documented evidence of success directly from clients in that specialty; and has conformed to the Code of Ethics of the society, serving as a thought leader and exemplar in the profession in general and their specialty in particular.

Andrew J. Birol, of Solon, OH has earned Board Approval for consulting to Emerging Companies. Mr. Birol is the president of Birol Growth Consulting, LLC.

SAC membership consists of less than 1% of consultants worldwide due to stringent membership requirements, and less than 3% of SAC members have achieved Board Approval status.

"This is a tough position to obtain, at the height of one's profession, and is a great criterion to apply when clients are considering consultants," says SAC CEO Alan Weiss, Ph.D. "It's difficult to choose the right resources in certain areas, and our Board Approval is evidence, not promotion, but real instances of consistent success in delivering client results." The SAC office will serve as a reference point and share that evidence with any clients seeking more information on Board Approved members.

SAC is an association of solo practitioners in various consulting disciplines with members in six countries. For more information contact info@consultingsociety.com, http://www.consultingsociety.com, or 800/825-6153.
