Results You Can Expect
“After a decade of doing things the same way, our Director and myself brought in Frank Kenny for a two day Board retreat. One of our directors sent me this email after the retreat “All I can say is WOW & THANK YOU! The board retreat was amazing and very productive.” Many of the Board members reached out to me after the retreat with similar comments and sentiments. Our Board determined that it was definitely time for a “paradigm” shift.
We truly appreciate having an opportunity to work with someone who has the knowledge and experience necessary to guide a Board like ours toward change. You are truly awesome Frank!”
Jerry Alexander M.A.,J.D.
Chairman of the Board, Lindale Area Chamber
“I had the pleasure of having Frank speak at my GACCE Executive Leadership Conference, and he did a fantastic job. He spoke on Content Marketing for Reach, What’s New and What’s Next in Social Media, and Personal Branding. I highly recommend him for your next association event or chamber seminar!”
Tiffany Fulmer Ott, Executive Director for GACCE / Administrator for CACCE, PACP, and ASCP
“Norma’s message was entertaining, high energy, engaging, thought provoking, and behavior changing. She presented in a manner that was both humorous and entertaining, while still getting her message across to the entire audience. That’s a hard combination to achieve, but she did it with style and grace. Norma would be a huge asset to any group who is looking for an amazing, one of a kind social media presenter.”
Tara Pawling Lea, Executive Director, Fremont Chamber
“I cannot tell you have very pleased I was with your excellent presentation Frank! You did an outstanding job and your message on Chamber Relevancy was right on target. A number of participants have contacted me and expressed how very much they enjoyed your remarks.”
Maryann Crowder, Executive Director, VACCE
