A CASE STUDY OF SUCCESS

 "If there were more Bob Leveys in this world, it would spin much more smoothly. I can easily give Bob and IEM my highest recommendation, without qualification. Not only is he a real pro and highly effective in each step of coordinating and pulling off an event, he brings calm, joy, and positive energy to every interaction.

I say this all the time: 'Bob is the BEST...no one comes close.' That sums it up!" 

  "Mr. Levey and IEM Golf have been outstanding in the coordination and execution of the annual Rob Riggle InVETational to benefit The Semper Fi & America's Fund.  Bob understands the importance of raising funds for a critical mission and takes the utmost time and effort to make sure everything, from the smallest detail to the overall event, is taken care of and well-managed.  

His passion, professionalism, and pride have been instrumental in the success of our charity​ golf tournament. Bob gets it -- and he makes it fun!" 

“It is an absolute pleasure working with you on this event year after year. The tournament runs so smoothly, and I know it is a direct result of all the time you put into the planning.

 Your skills and dedication are integral to the tournament’s success, and your efforts have us to gain the reputation of having one of (if not the most) fun, unique and successful tournaments in the area." 

"If you want your tournament to run without a hitch, hire Bob Levey and his team at IEM.  His organization skills are impeccable, nothing slips through the cracks.  

As a PGA Professional and knowing what all goes into running a successful golf tournament Bob continues to knock it out of the park! "

"We thought all was lost with Heroes to Heroes Foundation fundraising in 2020. Many of our donors' businesses were in danger. Without Bob Levey and his team at IEM, we would have lost a major opportunity to fund Heroes to Heroes. 

Bob and his team created a Covid-safe environment that allowed us to hold our golf tournament fundraiser in Los Angeles without fear. He kept everyone calm, pushed forward and adapted to many ongoing health department changes.  Our guests felt safe, taken care of, had a fun day away from the stresses of Covid and most importantly, raised much-needed funds. Bob thought of everything and made the day run smoothly. 

We would not have been able to run the tournament without Independent Events & Media. We look forward to working with IEM for many years to come."

"When looking back on where we were with initial planning for this tournament, to when Covid-19 first hit, followed by all of the subsequent decisions that had to be made (on an ongoing basis), it is truly remarkable that our 25th JASoCal Anniversary tournament had such tremendous success thanks in part to your never-give-up attitude and flexibility. I think our tournament sets the “Gold Standard” for how to successfully plan and run a charity Golf tournament in the face of a crisis the magnitude of Covid-19.    

Bob and Marisa, kudos and a BIG THANKS to both of you for your tireless work, perseverance in the face of challenges on multiple levels, and most importantly your dedication to the cause... supporting our mission here at JASoCal."

"Even though I am a member of two wonderful county clubs, the majority of the golf that I play is in support of charity events.  The difference in the quality of the tournaments that are managed by Bob Levey/Independent Events & Media is noticeable and the quality of the tournament improves year over year because of Bob’s effort, skill and the depth of experience and contacts he possesses. 

I support numerous tournaments each year, and one of the deciding factors for me is whether Bob is organizing the event." 

It has been my great pleasure to know Bob over the past four years as our Golf Tournament Director. In my experience, Bob is dependable, hard working and honest.

I have worked with many event planners over the past few decades, and Bob stands head and shoulders over most, not only in demonstrated initiative, intelligence and creativity, but also in his ability to function as a productive member of a team.
