Thank you for an invaluable training. Your commitment, good humor and dedication made for one of the most fun and at the same time intense weekends I've ever spent.

Thank you so much for the work you did on the retreat. We held our monthly general membership meeting last night and the plan was a big hit.

I want to add my thanks also for the all the help you provided the ‘Mighty MOs’ at the retreat.

Thanks again…

I want to say again how much I appreciate the training this weekend. All of you at EJUSA are very good at what you do -- very good training, usable tools, good facilitation pushing us to learn how to strategically plan and work together, good bonding and networking within and outside our own state groups, good emotional support and inclusion throughout, and you're all just so fun and so uplifting to be around.
