Very Interesting topic and speaker.  Program was more interesting than I expected. Relevant to anyone.”

Dave Sherman
This would be a great program if your chapter does a networking function during the year.  We have also had Dave in the past do our allied breakout at Education Day.  Although this may not apply to diects as much in the workplace, so many people often find themselves at a loss for words when meeting someone for the first time.  Dave helps put it all into perspective and gives tips for success!"
