Presentations & Training

"Your talk was relevant to the issues that stand before us – fundraising in the current economy and making events successful. Most important – cultivating our donors and making them feel special year round. I really enjoyed that you were interactive with the audience and had a handle on what each of us goes through. You were able to truly bring that to a level everyone could understand, while making it entertaining. Although I have been doing special events and fundraising for 6 years, I am new to the nonprofit community. You addressed a lot of the concerns I have had ("stuff" v. "fluff") and how to address those situations, as well as other great topics that I can use in my organization. It was extremely applicable."
