It was beyond powerful.  The strength and courage that it takes to provide insight and support is immeasurable by any standard.  The administrators walked away with a new perspective on not only crisis preparedness and response planning, but also a new perspective of the human connection in our work as educators.  Bureaucracy causes us to lose sight of our true mission.
 
Thank you for your support in planning the event, and we look forward to working with you again in the future!

Thanks for speaking at Middlesex Partnerships for Youth’s 2014 School Safety Summit. Your compelling address about the need for upgrading school safety measures was well received. You are an eloquent speaker and the 250+ conference participants were hanging on your every word. Thanks for making this conference so special. Many of our participants told us that it was the best School Safety Summit they had ever attended and that having you as a speaker was the reason why!

​Everything went really well. We had a complication with her electronic presentation, but it was all cleared up before she was on. I have to tell you, I’ve been doing this conference for 19 years and she was one of the best keynotes we’ve ever had. The feedback from the participants was amazing. Also, while she was speaking you could have heard a pin drop in a room with over 450 people, plus servers.

Michele’s presentation, ‘A Mother’s Perspective to School Safety’ was eye-opening on many levels. We believe that hearing her story on how events truly unfolded really puts a different perspective on school safety. It shows how important it is for all levels of administration, from principals down to the teachers… [to] be ready to jump into any role that is needed at the time of an emergency.

Michele’s presentations to parents, educators, and policy makers provide the perfect balance of emotion and practical guidance. She promotes an approach to school safety that strikes the important balance between physical and psychological safety. Her efforts have helped to ensure schools have comprehensive safety and crisis plans, with special attention being given to reunification and recovery.

The day was great and I am sure that Michele’s presence was a huge factor.  We started out expecting 150-160 and had an attendance of 240.  Michele’s presence and message was incredible.  We are already talking about possibly having her back some time for a somewhat different audience.  Thanks to you and Gina for helping everything to come together quite smoothly.

Michele Gay spoke at our conference this past week. She was amazing. Her message was inspirational as well as educational. As school business professionals, we all learned ideas and tips to be mindful of back at our schools. Michele gave us first-hand, useful knowledge to take back to our districts with us. If Michele presents at your event, you will not be disappointed!
