Dear John,
A million thanks for another terrific session this morning!! I received the following note immediately following the session and I wanted to pass it along:

I’ve heard John before and I think he is your best speaker! This session was extremely helpful and interesting. I like how John presents the concepts and the case study. He really made me think about all the important aspects of the stakeholders’ (but especially board chair and head) in the strategic planning process. Well done.

It is a pleasure working with you and I hope you have a wonderful spring!

The GISA Head’s Retreat was outstanding in great part to all that you (John Littleford) shared with us. It was definitely among the very best professional sessions that I have ever attended
