"Connie Neeson and her BMT Benefit Eligibility Management Team have been an outstanding asset for the Sisters of Providence.
The team manages the government programs for all our sisters. I have complete confidence in the work these wonderful women do with our sisters with regard to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, etc,. Without the Benefit Eligibility Management Team we would not have the financial help from the programs for which we qualify.
We are so grateful that we were the first congregation that Connie worked with to enroll us in these programs.
Now there are so many other congregations sharing in the expertise possessed by Connie and her entire team. What wonderful, helpful, beneficial service is provided to religious congregations by this team of women."
–Sister Nancy Reynolds, SP

"Our Congregation used to have separate databases for Sisters' personal information: Social Security income, Insurance, etc.
Now it's all easily accessible in an eye appealing format in BEATRICE (BMT's web-based data management tool) -- it saves a lot of time looking for what we need.
In the short nine months we've been with the Benefit Eligibility Management Team of Brenner, McDonagh and Tortolani, in accessing government benefits for us, they have both, greatly increased our income and decreased our expenses as well as taken a lot of work out of the Treasurer's Office!"

Lorraine Golio was a wonderful resource and help when we suddenly were left without an HR Director. She quickly understood us as a community and the type of person we needed. Lorraine found just the right person for us. During our search she also efficiently researched the new MA earned sick leave law and composed the policy for it and helped us with several other HR issues. Thank you Lorraine! Thank you BMT!

The Sisters of St. Joseph of Lyon-Maine have had a working relationship with the firm of BMT as financial consultants for over 30 years. We have always been very pleased with the expertise and experience they've provided. Like so many religious groups, we have become fewer and have needed to respond differently to our reality. Because of the positive working relationship with BMT all these years, we made a decision nearly two years ago to outsource most of the work still needing to be done in our finance-business office. BMT has been providing that service. It's one of the best decisions leadership has ever made!
–Sr. Gilla Dube
Provincial, Sisters of St. Joseph of Lyon-Maine
