What Our Clients Are Saying...

“I have had the privilege of participating in and presenting at several educational conferences with Mark Francis. He is an effective, engaging presenters on a variety of topics. He has demonstrated the ability to design presentations to meet the needs of the expected participants and also the flexibility to adjust presentations to meet the needs of attendees when necessary. Mark has also shown the ability to organize conferences, including selecting and scheduling conference speakers and presenters, arranging for meals and breaks, and hotel accommodations among other things. This is not an easy task as I well know, having served as executive director of a state association for five years where organizing conferences was a prime, ongoing expectation. I highly recommend Mark Francis as presenters and as conference organizers.”
