“Jamie Benson is a triple threat - great artist, great administrator, great personality. Someone usually covers at most 2 of the 3, but not Jamie. I had the pleasure of working beside him at Highways Performance Space for 5 years.
He first came to the space as an artist and then stayed to work as development associate. In that time, Highways' number of grants and membership increased. He's diligent, detail-oriented, and personable. Any organization would be lucky to have him.” --Patrick Kennelly, Artistic Director, Highways Performance Space

He is smart, organized, and has the communication skills of a god. He expresses his vision with clarity and is an active listener.” –-Simon Hanna, Development Outreach consultant, Simon Says Support
“Jamie Benson is a Marketing and Development force to be reckoned with. As the one-man Marketing and Development team at Noel Pointer Foundation, he successfully managed a full grants calendar while also completing all of the marketing and PR duties.
His sense of humor and ability to deflect tense situations make him a joy to have around. Whether you are considering hiring him or are thinking of meeting for a drink, do it. You'll be glad you did.” --Emily Andenmatten, Marketing Director, Flute Center of New York
“He’s super encouraging, making something as scary as marketing both approachable and less personally intimidating.
He emphasizes BOTH the technical aspects of optimizing algorithms and the creative factor of posting as a fun expressive act really inspired me. He puts the "social" back in social media.” --Julia Bengtsson, Dancer
“Jamie exudes an infectious enthusiasm, passion, and love for teaching and inspiring others.
He is elegant, witty, and filled with a compassion that is so warm and welcoming to be around.” --Kristi Lahusen, Sales and Leadership Coach
