| "David's personable
style combined with his inquisitive and engaging intellect
make for excellent discussion in matters of policy,
governance and procedure. It's in these areas especially
where his expertise has lent integrity and clarity to
the work we have been doing. We count on him consistently
and insistently." |
Benjamin Bolté
Human Resources Committee Chair |
|
| "While serving
as the chairman of the Boston Church of Christ's board
of directors, I found David's advice and counsel invaluable.
He brings an intense commitment to his work, which is
evident in his preparation for each meeting, his knowledge
of case history and legal precedent, and his thorough
research of ancillary issues affected by any decision
we make. Despite this intense focus, David is always
mindful of our organization's larger goals and helps
us put specific issues in a broader context of whether
we are fulfilling our overarching mission and staying
true to our biblically based principles. He would be
a great asset to any leadership team." |

| "I have worked
with David on numerous legal situations and always found
him eager to help, caring about integrity and our interests
as mutually vital components and quick to determine
relevant and essential legal content. I have found two
areas of his work most helpful: the first in assessing
and organizing vital legal components for compliance
as a corporate entity at the board level and second
for dealing with delicate intricacies of corporate liability
involving personal choices of our membership. This has
required being both hardline on legal responsibility
without alienating obvious emotional loyalties within
family and church." |

| "I have been involved
with David Adams on a number of fronts over the years.
David has that great ability to look at things from
a spiritual point of view as he discusses a legal scenario.
He has great enthusiasm for his work and brings a supportive
and positive attitude to tackling difficult issues and
problems. He has the important quality of listening
as well as the drive to negotiate through situations
to achieve a good result. I would easily recommend him
as someone who can do a thorough and competent job.

| "My experience
working with David Adams has been nothing but positive.
David is always responsive, knowledgeable and thorough
in his research. He has been especially helpful to me
in the area of corporate organization (by-laws, resolutions,
annual meetings etc.), liability insurance issues, volunteer
screening and for the frequent miscellaneous legal questions
that inevitably come up throughout the year. I would
highly recommend David Adams to any nonprofit organization
that needs professional legal services." |
Richard
Luz
Administrator for large Boston
nonprofit |
|
| David has been a tremendous
help to the Rhode Island Church of Christ and to myself,
the administrator for the church and an officer on the
board of directors. He has researched and helped us
resolve many legal issues that have arisen over the
last several years such as pastoral counseling situations
and persecution and slander of our members on local
campuses. David was instrumental in helping us determine
our liability insurance needs and acquire the insurance
with a reputable company at a reasonable cost. He has
performed valuable training for our board of directors
and he constantly keeps the board informed of changes
in laws concerning adult volunteers working with children,
hiring and firing, insurance requirements, and the like.
David is quick to respond to my calls and inquiries
and he is always happy to help me in any way he can. |
Kimberly
Henry
Administrator and secretary
of the board of the Rhode Island Church of Christ |
|
| "David Adams has
been instrumental in assisting the Board of the Springfield
Church of Christ in the formation of corporate by-laws
and administrative policies and procedures, including
extensive children's ministry guidelines and pre-selection
screening, corporate governance issues that implement
the delicate balance between secular and ecclesiastical
leadership, conflict of interest issues, the safeguarding
of church assets, including controls on the handling
of cash contributions. In addition, David has been a
tremendous resource in the past year as the Board worked
to revamp its paid ministry compensation and benefits
model. David also provided valuable advice regarding
our organization's liability insurance protection resulting
in increased coverage at a reduced price. David provides
timely and practical advice that effectively balances
urgent short term issues with the organization's purpose
and long term goals." |
