"One of the challenges our association often faces is many of our delegates often leave the keynote to do their own networking.  This is seldom a reflection on the speaker but more of an indication of the importance our group places on talking amongst themselves.  I was prepared for this to happen during your session but as you know, no one left!  Curt you had everyone riveted to their seats, the feedback has been great and I have heard from all 220 delegates that you were the message we needed to hear!  Thanks for the great work."

Jerry Engels, President, Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada
