Timothy Tait, Ed.D.

“I am currently involved in an academic research project focusing on identifying and recommending innovative strategies and methodologies to provide as a Best Practice document for a particular Department of Transportation. Within this project, our research team is utilizing literature to help build our understanding of how social media has played an impact within other transportation agencies. One of the materials we are reviewing includes Best Practices for Transportation Agency Use of Social Media. Within this book, Dr. Tait has provided excellent insight on this topic by illuminating common issues, lessons which have been learned and successful practices within his DOT. Thank you Dr. Tait and to all the contributors and editors for this easy-to-read (and fun) text! No doubt, a great resource for most who may be interested in these disciplines.”

“I offer up this recommendation of Tim Tait for a number of reasons: Tim is inciteful, decisive, informed, and consistently adds value to groups and projects. I have worked with Tim in a number of diverse professional settings; I have always found him to be "The" guy to have on your team when you want to move forward, critally examine all considerations, and to succeed. Tim's off-the-charts intelligence, his ability to recall every minute, yet relevant detail from the past, his well-balanced sense of humor, and his command of written and verbal communication combine to make him a key, even pivotal player in every professional setting. This is a good man, good peer/colleague, and a good friend.”

“As a reporter covering Dysart Unified School District, I could always count on Timothy to provide me with accurate information in a timely fashion. If he did not have an answer to a question immediately or first-hand, he would seek one out or put me in touch with the individual who did. He was always cognizant of my deadlines, and communicated and worked with me in a professional manner. Hands down, one of the best public affairs/information personnel I have had to deal with.”

“Timothy is a goal oriented individual who works diligently to better himself and his employer. As the Public Information Officer for DVUSD he was able to maintain a calm demeanor when thrust into difficult situations. He was also instrumental in developing the District's Safe Schools profile, keeping abreast of school law and student discipline. Tim is steadfast in his dedication to education and educational leadership.”

“Tim was a real asset at GoDaddy. He was always calm, no matter how chaotic the day. He is an excellent writer and did a tremendous job as the producer of GoDaddy radio--a very complex and challenging weekly show. Very creative and always positive. I highly recommend him.”

“I've had the pleasure of working with Tim on many projects for the Deer Valley School District. When we wasn't informing thousands on the local news, he was delivering outstanding journalism and ideas to myself (photographs included). His understanding of design and copy-fitting made my job a breeze. I can remember us saying what a great team we made after a job well done. Tim Tait comes highly recommended.”
