"Thank you so much for taking the time from your schedule and accepting our invitation as a featured speaker at our bi-annual National Health Care sector conference at our Unifor Family Education Centre. The conference this year in particular was especially well-received by our members and your presentation in specific was frequently cited by delegates as inspirational, informative and insightful, although not necessarily in that precise order. Our delegates also responded very favourably in their evaluations to your insight and awareness as well as your humour and engagement, in the context of some very deep and difficult issues for them as care providers. It is clear that you have an expertise and more critically, a true passion for your work and your presentation received considerable positive feedback around your abilities to animate or transform the topic into an engaging and inspiring presentation."
