The Institute of Management Consultants New Jersey Chapter (IMC NJ) is pleased to announce that Joseph Kowalski, Certified Management Consultant Emeritus, has received the Distinguished Service Award in recognition of his commitment and exemplary service to both IMC NJ and the consulting profession.

Kowalski, who was president and founder of NJ-based Capitol Management Consulting, Inc., was a founding officer of the IMC Princeton Chapter in 1990. He served as the Chapter’s second President (1992-1994) and has worked in many Chapter Board and committee positions. The Award was presented to Kowlaski at the May 16, 2011 IMC NJ dinner meeting.  

"Joe’s sustained devotion to the professionalism of consulting and his support to IMC have been truly outstanding,” says IMC NJ Chapter President Helen Dao. "Joe is a consultant’s consultant, always willing to lend a hand, offer sage advice, mentor new consultants, and serve as a colleague to experienced consultants.”  

With his expertise in business process analysis and technology, Kowalski developed many computerized best practices for the Chapter. As Chair of the Certification Committee from 1997-1999, he tirelessly championed the cause for members to become certified and participated in IMC USA workshops that provided the basic principles, practices and ethics of management consulting. He also served on the Past Presidents Council form 1996-2000. His most recent accomplishment was his support in 2008 in reorganizing and revitalizing the New Jersey Chapter. He led the group in formalizing the Chapter’s bi-monthly meeting programs topics and speakers.  

"I nominated Joe because he’s more than just an outstanding consultant,” notes William Dorman, CMC Emeritus. "He has been a colleague for many consultants in IMC. I’ve personally worked with Joe on many consulting projects and can attest to his professionalism and ethics. He’s trustworthy – just a stand-up guy.”  

Kowalski founded Capitol Management Consulting (CMC) in 1984 and sold the firm in 2009. CMC provided operations and management consulting services and on-line performance metrics to business, industry and government. Prior to founding CMC, he held various operations executive positions with Johnson & Johnson. He holds an MBA from Fairleigh Dickinson University and a BA from Rutgers University. He received his Certified Management Consultant designation from the Institute of Management Consultants in 1987. Kowalski is a long-time resident of Titusville, NJ.
