" The participants in our summit are still talking about your presentation.  With your leadership, we were able to achieve the first part of our goal for the day- creating a conversation about what is happening today and what needs to happen tomorrow for quality education for our children.  That was exciting!  You held our hand and walked us through that first giant step.  Your message to both the education and business  communities was a loud and clear answer to their question of 'What do we need to do?'"
