Evaluation Comments:

• She did an excellent job of walking around and visiting/connecting with every person in attendance. I love how she then incorporated their story as “Real World” examples in the presentation.
• I like that she gave time to have each person or group break down and go through the various planning stages.
• She had an awesome ice breaker at the beginning that lead to a great opening hour of the presentation.
• I must say that the workshop was awesome! The speaker was great, really knows her stuff. The session was very informative, and the interaction especially was the best part. I would love to go one of these grant workshops in the future.
• I enjoyed the time for discussion and reflection.
• It really exceeded my expectations – I wasn’t expecting it to be so hands-on! It was also very enjoyable and interesting. I feel like it was a great program, and well worth the price.
• This was an excellent workshop. Very informative and helpful.
• The workshop was nicely balanced with lecture, information sharing and short work sessions.
