Comments

“I know this will be an an eye opening experience for both the next generation of creative communication specialists AND for us mentors as well. For the young talent we can provide, among other things, self-confidence through our perspective gathered over time. For us seniors, all fresh views and discussions will salvage us from cocooning ourselves in our 'muscle memory' way of thinking and operating. A definite win-win. And I'm happy and honored to be involved in Creative LIAisons."
