What they’re saying:
“What a terrific day it was for McKendree College. Your morning presentation to the students was extremely informative. Comments today indicated how well-received “Getting Your Financial Act Together” was by our students as well as by our faculty. The evening program was equally successful. Your audience of 200 was primarily business leaders from the greater St. Louis community and their reaction was exceptionally positive. It’s not easy to entertain with a topic like stocks and bonds. However, you have a unique ability to deliver very substantive information in a most understandable fashion with a healthy mix of humor. We all learned quite a bit and are pleased to have made a new friend.” — Susan Scribner, Ed.D., McKendree College
