Conference participants were enthralled with your presentation. Evaluations included comments such as, "This speaker woke me up and started me to think about how I can make a difference," and "SSA always makes a difference for the public - now we have ideas for making a difference with employees too!" and finally: "Barbara Glanz should be considered a national treasure!" These comments, you understand, come from a fairly jaded community of managers who are rarely moved to such comments!

Testimonials

The following comment from an associate on the meeting's evaluation form under "the part of the meeting I liked best" typifies the response of the entire group who heard you: "Barbara Glanz was terrific. Invite her again!" I'm confident that suggestion will be taken seriously by future meeting planners.
