  • Greater Wichita Ministerial League - Jan 23 2023

  • Thank you very much for excellent customer and support. I enjoyed working with your company and truly appreciated meeting Haley in person. It was nice to have her on site. I hope she enjoyed her time at NC State University and interacting with our students, faculty and staff. Based on my observation she managed Mr. Martin's needs very well. Roland Martin was very well received on campus. Some of the comments about him include, "Roland Martin was phenomenal! So glad I was able to attend." "...kudos on yesterday's Commemoration. Not only was Martin a fantastic speaker, but you all did a great job managing the stresses of late flights, tech delays, etc. Really, it was a great event." And, finally, "BTW, the event with Roland Martin was amazing! Thanks for bringing him to campus.
