Quote

"Content covered was comprehensive and I will certainly be able to apply to my work very quickly. In addition, Meghan Hargrave is a wonderful facilitator. Not only did she weave in additional knowledge to the content and make it even richer, but she also created an engaging environment for all attendees, sometimes hard to accomplish with a virtual experience." -Katherine Y.
