PROGRAM TESTIMONIAL

“I can’t thank our sponsor association enough. As a small event organizer with zero budget for speakers the first year, we were able to bring Jeff in as a speaker because we were gifted the keynote from another association through Jeff’s program. He was impactful, entertaining, and our group absolutely loved him! We never would have been able to afford to bring in a speaker of Jeff’s caliber without this program being in place.”
