“The role playing -- which I usually hate – was so relevant. I learned from others in my group.”

“The interaction between the presenters and the audience was the best part of the workshop.”

“ Using a local county library issue to focus on its needs and how to transfer to our own situation will help me to focus on how my local board and Friends can prioritize and make some progress on our needs.”

“The information was useful and very well presented. The presenters were very easy to listen to and understand.”

“You took a daunting task and broke it down into doable parts. ‘Team’ concept takes away the fear factor of going it alone.”

“You touched on ‘real’ applicable issues and situations; while keeping us on track and on schedule.”
