About Us

Tom Schramski, Ph.D. founded Salience Consulting, LLC in 2004. He is an experienced consultant, trainer, speaker and writer. Clients have included the Mercer Human Resource Consulting Group, the Mentor Network, the State of Arizona (multiple agencies) and the University of Arizona, as well as numerous other organizations and companies. Tom is a graduate of the University of Arizona, has served as an Adjunct Faculty member, and is a Licensed Psychologist. He has received numerous awards in these roles, including public service recognition by the State of Arizona, as well as numerous advocacy groups for people with severe disabilities.

Tom brings unique executive accomplishments and skills to his work as a consultant. In 1980 he co-founded a company, Community Psychology and Education Services (CPES), a pioneering organization in the field of developmental disabilities and mental illness. After successfully competing for numerous contracts and demonstration grants, Tom led the transformation of CPES to a 100% employee-owned company in 1995, with a strong emphasis on service quality, an ownership culture and financial success. By 2004 CPES had grown from its original two employees and $70,000 budget to a $22M company with over 700 employees. Numerous “best practices” awards, with national recognition have followed. At the time Tom left CPES it was one of the top 100 employee-owned companies in the United States.

Tom lives in the mountains north of Tucson, with his wife Mary Lou, and a cast of Boxers, as well as assorted desert critters that pass through. He is also an amateur musician, photographer and avid adventure traveler.

 

“I have the highest professional respect for what Dr. Schramski brings to the table. In the over 10 years I have known him, he has stood out as one of the best presenters, writers and consultants in our part of the country. Given the tough funding environment, he has also been a superb resource and support for innovation in organizations that might not have otherwise survived.”
