"It's nearly a week since the AFP [Asscociation of Fundraising Professionals] Conference on Philanthropy in Orange County. WOW! What a terrific success - due in no small part to your contributions. You were a wonderful speaker and fount of tremendous knowledge. Thanks for fulfilling [their] promise." Attendee at AFP-sponsored Fund Raising Day.

"Your intelligence and passion towards the global community inspires me. You're the best role model I've found in the development field." Letter from participant at International Fundraising Congress.

"Your presentation brought home the reasons why development is essential, as well as making people realize that it just might be possible to succeed at donor development while also succeeding as a faculty member/unit head. I greatly appreciated your ability to speak directly to University faculty, using relevant examples and language." Dean at a public university.

"I attended the board workshop you presented last week and wished it could have been much longer. I wanted you to know that you gave me information on practices of able nonprofit leaders that totally changed my attitude as a manager…thank you for giving me something I know will really work." Arts manager who attended a community college presentation.

"Thank you so much for facilitating our [hospital's] retreat. As always, you motivated and inspired our group. I have received several calls today from non-Foundation trustees, thanking me for including them in the process. I think we have taken a real step in teaching people that creating a culture of giving is everyone's responsibility and not just the work of the Foundation…It was obvious that they took your words to heart." Director of a hospital foundation.

"The group was so inspired by your work with us and so enthusiastic about trying to achieve a more professional approach to our efforts…I am in continual awe of your skill, your combination of humor and toughness, and your intuitive sense of the mood of the audience." Board member, private university research center advisory board
