Retail Promotions Training - 08/24/2010 11:27:01
Linda Barnett from Oklahoma City, OK You did a great job at our Retail Promotions Training in Oklahoma. You were very well-received by the managers and volunteers. Many offered comments asking for more trainings from Kathy because she has great ideas. Thanks.

Thanks Oregon Downtown Conference 09 - 10/22/2009 11:37:58
Jamie Johnk from Oregon City, OR Thank you for your excellent presentation at the Oregon Main Street Conference. The evaluations were high for all presenters, but "Creative Funding Strategies" came in as the crowd favorite. Your thoughtful presentation, mixed with your expertise, humor, and great energy, made an important contribution to the events success.

Cary Tyson from Arkansas I just wanted to say "thanks"; for all your help with the coordinators and Executive Committee meetings. Your background, experience and service have made you our best resource and advocate. I look forward to you getting to Arkansas again soon.
