Feedback
The contribution made by Verity as MC of 2006 Visitor Servicing Association Conference was absolutely superb. She was professional, open, relaxed, entertaining, related well to the audience, and was described by some delegates as the ‘highlight of the conference’. We will utilise her services again.
From the comments we received, everyone thoroughly enjoyed Verity’s contribution as MC, especially the humour she brought to the occasion. It is always pleasing to have laughter at what can sometimes be a very serious AGM. Great MC.
We just wanted to say a quick thank you for all your efforts last night. You added some real pizzazz to the evening. Your interaction with the audience and general attentiveness to their mood was handled with consummate professionalism and we're grateful your efforts helped us to run a such a smooth and successful event.
We're thrilled with the results of te auction and believe we have raised around $35K although last counts have not come in yet. We certainly won't hesitate to call on your assistance again for future events.
