With over 20 years of management, marketing and communications experience in both the public and private sectors, Mr. Bodkin brings a unique perspective to associations. Larry has held CEO positions with several for-profit and not-for-profit organizations and has provided consulting services on management and operations issues for a variety of state and national organizations.
Mr. Bodkin was responsible for several profitable business expansions, creating new subsidiary companies to offer management consulting services, “best practices” management techniques, and web strategy and design to both for-profit and non-for-profit businesses. He was also responsible for the consummation of a strategic alliance that resulted in the formation of a new company to co-market insurance services to not-for-profit organizations. On the consulting side, Mr. Bodkin specializes in programs dealing with strategic planning, member service and satisfaction and the creation of management systems designed to improve the performance of associations of all types and sizes. Most recently, he conducted an association wide audit for the American Subcontractors Association and a Grassroots Mobilization Program for the Florida Professional Firefighters.
Mr. Bodkin received his Bachelor’s (1986) and Master’s (1993) Degrees in Communication Theory and Research from Florida State University. He received his Certified Association Executive (CAE) designation through the American Society of Association Executives in 1997. In 1998, he graduated from the U. S. Chamber of Commerce’s prestigious six-year Institute of Organization Management at the University of Notre Dame. Larry is also a former member of several not-for-profit boards of directors himself, including the Tallahassee Society of Association Executives (1994-1999), the Ronald McDonald House Charities (1998-1999) and the Emerald Isle Society (1999-2000).
Jane D. Bodkin, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, also provides overall leadership to the day-to-day activities of the clients managed by BMC. Also with over 20 years of experience in various association, state government and political activities, Mrs. Bodkin brings a unique blend of qualities to BMC clients.
In the political arena, Mrs. Bodkin has served as Deputy Political Director for the Republican Party of Florida, coordinating statewide political campaigns, political events and fundraisers and serving as an event director for the Florida Stateman’s Dinner. In the association environment, Mrs. Bodkin served as a legislative lobbyist for the Florida Home Builders Association and the Florida Association of Realtors. In state government, Mrs. Bodkin also worked as a senior aide at the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
As a critical component of the operation of any association, the quality and timeliness of your finance and accounting services must be unquestioned. Wayne T. DeWitt, CPA brings over 30 years of public and private accounting experience to BMC.
Mr. DeWitt provides direction and oversight for all finance and accounting operations. These services include the creation of association budgets, the preparation of monthly financial statements and year-end reports and the timely filing of any required corporate and tax documents. He also provides oversight for all general accounting functions, including but not limited to accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payment processing. We also offer an accounts payable and accounts receivable coordinator on our staff to specifically handle these issues for our clients.
