Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
Mary Beth is the best presenter I have encountered so far in any Aurora webinars. She is exceptional. Your might consider asking her to give tips to some of your other presenters. Her materials were excellent. She presented them with alacrity. While other presenters have seemed to be reading from their slides and spoke so slowly it was numbing, Mary was engaging and shared a tremendous amount of valuable expertise and immediately useful insights in a short time. I felt like my precious time was being respected.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
Telling us to down load the handouts before or during the presentation would have been helpful. Not enough time afterwards. Also, presenter was excellent. I especially liked when she used concrete examples of what she was describing. She very much knows her field and was generous with info.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
a lot of time was spent on selling the concept of project management - 35 minutes at least. It didn't have to be so long to drive home the importance of why it is important.
