RICHARD WINTER, PRESIDENT, WINTER CORPORATION, GREATER BOSTON MA AREA:
“Scott Lax helped me build my company into an internationally recognized expert consultant in large scale data management.
In the early years of my venture, when it was not widely known, Scott helped me develop exceptionally valuable customer relationships in the midwestern US. He always worked hard on my behalf and used his outstanding skills in communication -- oral and written -- to help me meet the people who could make a difference; to discover and create opportunities; to build and sustain customer relationships; and, to present the company capabilities and accomplishments in the way most meaningful to our customers.
In short, he helped to accomplish every type of task needed to meet our development goals in the area. Scott served as an outstanding consultant and representative of my company. His exceptional writing talent was an important part of this, but so were his passion, creativity, persistence and people skills.” May 18, 2011

THE REV. DR. BERNARD R. WILSON, SR. MINISTER OF THE NORFIELD CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, CT.; ASST. CHAPLAIN OF THE MARINE CORPS (RET)
"I have worked with Scott Lax on a number of speeches, all of which resulted in extremely well-received presentations on my part. Scott works hard on research and originality, and it shows. He’s detailed when he needs to be, lyrical when the words call for something special, and he’s a pleasure to collaborate with. As a writer experienced in many genres, Scott’s been able to help me articulate my voice, and he does so with respect and good humor. My subject matter is sometimes delicate and complex, a challenge that Scott seems to relish. I give Scott Lax my highest recommendation as a speech writer and presentation consultant.”

- JOYCE A. BANJAC, PhD, VP ACADEMIC AFFAIRS AND STUDENT SERVICES AT JEFFERSON COLLEGE; PRESIENT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AT THE FIRST GENERATION FOUNDATION
"Scott is an accomplished writer and talented instructor. Beyond his long list of published works and literary accolades, I am additionally impressed with his character. He exudes kindness and helpfulness in his words and his deeds as demonstrated by his humility, openness and good cheer.
"Despite Scott’s literary accomplishments, his teaching demeanor is never boastful or egotistical, but rather, is welcoming, warm and encouraging. Scott’s nurturing, helpful instructional style is compatible with the pedagogical needs of today’s community college students. I am confident that his students will become better, stronger and more talented writers.
"As an educator, professor, dean and VPAA with years of trial-and error experience in recruiting, staffing and evaluating faculty, I can size up a potential faculty member rather quickly. As such, Scott Lax has earned my highest recommendation and my strongest support".
