I recently referred a colleague to your website and I thought I would drop you a note to tell you how much I enjoyed your workshop on strategic planning at the NeighborWorks conference in December. It has fundamentally changed the way I think about this issue. Many thanks for making the time to share this information with agencies like ours.
