In Their Own Words
Robin Gifford brought energy, humor and insight to our gathering of communications professionals, guiding us through a semi-formal dinner and helping us polish our etiquette to achieve our business goals. By applying her insights, we will represent ourselves and our organizations with distinction when working with our constituents while dining. Her work with our group led us to a “Springboard for Success!”
