Delegate comments: Post-Traumatic Stress Seminar, April 2017

“You’re certainly ahead of the game in a world that has not always adapted realistically to the changes created by society as the generations come and go. Developing an organization that asks tough questions and provides a positive way to overcome personal and political discord is something to be proud of. You’ve done an amazing job.”
