MORE REACTIONS from EVENT ATTENDEES
Reclaiming Youth International, San Antonio, Feb. 6, 2006
I want to take this opportunity to personally thank you for your outstanding keynote address delivered at the "Reclaiming Youth International Conference in San Antonio last week. The creative manner in which you blended policy, resilience research, humor and powerful anecdotes spoke to both the head and the heart of the audience. You bring an unmatched depth of practical experience and wisdom to turn problems into solutions. We could not have found a more stimulating presenter to set the stage for our conference. Your recent retirement from leadership of the National Crime Prevention Council has only freed you up for another mission on behalf of our nation's most challenging youth.
Thanks again for your stunning presentation.
