Mahalos from Honolulu Workshop

HONOLULU GRANT WRITING WORKSHOP TESTIMONIALS – MAY 2006

A great workshop, very ably presented, and it gave me a wealth of good, usable assistance in grant writing, including good, helpful reference materials. Karl Bachman, Our Redeemer Lutheran—Honolulu, HI.

I appreciated the “outside the box” information about relationships, follow-up, thank yous, etc. The book has a lot of information and will be useful in future. I’m impressed by the willingness to provide continuous advice/support. Margery Doescher, National Kidney Foundation of Hawaii—Honolulu, HI.

Wow, Bev, you’re the best! I loved your honest enthusiasm, professionalism, and organization of the topic. Many times I go to workshops and learn one small element of what I need—but from this workshop I feel as if I’ve learned the complete package—the best workshop I’ve ever attended! Mahalo mei loa! Mary Dolan, Hawaii Dept. of Education—Kailua, HI.

Excellent presentation with realistic description and all components in place to equip us to write great grants—very credible and helpful for organizing the whole process of grant writing from A—Z. With the knowledge and materials shared, the registration fee will yield a lot more beyond the two-day workshop. Kelsey Hiraishi, Boy and Girls Club of the Big Island—Hilo, HI.

The trainer gave a clear presentation with good interaction and instructive visual aids; very helpful, comprehensive, and useful. Gunther Hintz, Medicorps—Honolulu, HI.

A+ on method, knowledge, and enthusiasm. I appreciated your candor and honesty regarding the inner workings of landing the grant and the need to establish a relationship.
