“I first met Joan when she was the keynote at CASE Summit in New York. I was blown away. She was an amazing speaker: hard hitting, insightful, and very funny. Later, I referred her to keynote a friend’s conference and the standing ovation Joan got sure made me look good!”

Susan Ball

Senior Director, The Fordham Fund

“Joan’s closing keynote for our 10,000+ person virtual nonprofit conference, The Collaborative: Virtual Sessions, held in June 2020, was everything you want in a closing keynote. She received rave reviews from our attendees, one going so far as to make the proclamation, ‘Joan for President!'”
