Feedback on Prior Speeches

I wanted to thank you once again for your participation in the Social Media for Internal Communications event last week.  Your contribution added a great deal to the overall program and I truly appreciate all of your efforts.

Amy Gerstein
Conference Producer
Advanced Learning Institute

“My blackberry has not stopped for an instant since your presentation today!  I received rave reviews from so many attendees, some of whom were members of the board of directors of PRSA-SF.  In addition, the program was so terrific, and of such quantifiable value that non-members of the chapter signed up on the spot to become new members!  In the 25 years that I have been affiliated with PRSA, that’s a first.”

VP of Programs & Member of BOD, PRSA San Francisco
