WHAT PROFESSIONALS SAY
Shahab Raza, PE, ENV SP
President of MXML Engineering
Often us engineers have difficulty finding the right technical proposal team that we admire and can agreeably mesh our ideas with. The nature of contention tends to be both in form and substance. However, that’s not the case with Liz ever since we started working together on various pursuits. With her engineering background and insight, as well as her keen marketing abilities and strategic viewpoints, she absolutely gets it! In refreshing ways, every initiative led by Liz has been to our delight. Her attention to content detail, accuracy, presentation, responsiveness, and timely delivery of quality products has finally given me a peace of mind after 30 years of struggle that with Liz, any work assigned will be in safe, intelligent, and responsible hands.
William Gettings, PE, MBA, Assoc. DBIA
Associate Vice President / Operations Manager
It has been a pleasure working with Liz as she has a “can do” energetic attitude and has the ability to efficiently shift her priorities to meet tight deadlines. Also, she is detail oriented and I am very impressed with the quality of her work and her ability to display complex concepts in a straightforward manner. Her suggestions for improvement on proposals were also notable, and have resulted in project awards for the firm.
Amber Saltarelli, MCIP, RPP, PMP
Vice President, Environmental Business Line Lead
There is no one I’d rather have on my team than Liz. She’s an extremely hard working, dedicated team player whose constant attention to detail is unmatched. Liz truly puts her heart and soul into everything she does and brings great value to technical writing and preparation of business proposals. Her willingness to collaborate and her contributions to our processes and end product played a key role in helping our firm secure new business. Liz is a valuable asset to any team she is part of and I truly look forward to working with her again on our next assignment.

President of de Bruin Engineering /
Civil Engineer
In my work with Liz, I have found her to be insightful and creative in developing materials that capture the target client’s attention. She is extraordinarily responsive and always does whatever it takes to deliver outstanding products on schedule. Her work for me has resulted in positive and successful outcomes.
Raymond M. Calamari, RA
Architect
Working with Liz Tauss makes you smarter. I am an architect and part of my job is to communicate my thoughts clearly, both in drawings and the written word. I am a better visual artist than an author so, in my case, Liz was able to interpret my ideas into verbal descriptions in short order. I love working with her as she understands what’s important and what’s fluff. I will be working with Liz on all my proposals as she makes the arduous task of writing and organizing so easy. I highly recommend doing the same. She nails it!!!
Michael Urtnowski

It has been my distinct honor and pleasure to work with Liz in various corporate capacities for more than 15 years. She is an outstanding individual of the highest character and first order professional. She brings great intelligence and dedication to her work and has a unique ability to bring all business activities to a successful conclusion.
Beena Mathaikutty, MD, MPH
Board Certified Emergency Medicine Physician
Ms. Tauss has been an instrumental part of many projects for me, and she is always professional, reliable and personable. I feel comfortable to tell her my requirements for a project and have the utmost assurance that it will be completed without flaw and on time. She has assisted me with numerous professional reports while completing my Masters in Public Health, and the outcome was always excellent. Her combination of intelligence, professional integrity and thoroughness to complete a project to perfection is bar none. I have worked with a lot of professionals and don’t always give reviews, but when given the opportunity to relay Liz’s work ethic, competence and completeness, there is no hesitation.
Alexis Schlessingerman, PE, CCM
Technical Director
Liz has been instrumental to the success of obtaining proposals for large jobs. Through her leadership, I have seen her pull together large multi-million dollar proposal packages for design, design-build, and construction management jobs. Her staff admires her as she is a true leader who takes time to mentor her staff and keeps them all on the same pace. As a technical writer, she has consistently been able to address a proposal by finding out what the clients need and how the firm can deliver it through their proven history and staff. She has an eye for highlighting exactly what clients want to see to secure a winning bid. She is a true professional and leader in our industry.
Maria Zena

I worked with Liz for over 7 years and she was truly a great mentor. She is detail oriented, creative and extremely knowledgeable. She always has a clear vision for marketing, proposal and business pursuits, and is involved throughout the whole process. Not only is she a gifted technical writer, but she creates and develops info-graphics and designs to bring content together in a visual way so that the most important aspects are front and center. Liz is extremely diligent about meeting deadlines, without ever compromising the quality and integrity of work.
