It was a great experience. I'm glad to have worked with such a great team. I look forward to any future interactions.
California Legislative Black Caucus - Jan 17 2018 -
Everyone truly appreciated Donna Brazile as our keynote, and we’re being told it was “the best” Summit of year’s past. She was quite warm and patient with all of our guests and very easy to work with from arrival to departure. She was genuine, and I believe really connected with our guests that day. I appreciate her integrating philanthropy with her talking points as well – it did strike a chord.
Cleveland Foundation - Apr 27 2016 -
It went phenomenally! Donna was so terrific. I have had so many people come up to me to let me know how much they enjoyed the talk. She was inspiring, funny, and informative. Best of all, she engaged with every student in ways that previous speakers have not. Not only did she personally talk to everyone who approached her, but she also engaged their questions. And not just with formulaic answers--every question was met with a very thoughtful answer. MCAB Speakers is really thrilled with how it turned out! Zero complaints from our end.
