"Just a quick note to say how utterly thrilled we were to work with Donna Rae Scheffert this past Saturday. I've been to many strategic planning days in my career and have to say that this was absolutely THE BEST! Not only did Donna Rae keep us energized and engaged throughout the day, but we even ended up with an actual plan. I cannot tell you how many times I've been to a planning session where things got out on the table, but were never incorporated into a plan. I actually left the session WITH ENERGY, without a headache and know that we'll be able to accomplish some exciting things in the next 3 years. Thank you so much for sending her our direction -- we are ENTHRALLED! Program Leader
