After attending one of Mazarine’s sessions, you seriously feel invincible!Mazarine was like a group spirit guide; she provided the foundation of knowledge, and then urged us to ask ourselves questions. Not only was the session engaging, informative, and highly applicable, but she did something that I did not see at any other sessions at the conference – in a room of 200, in less than an hour, she made a community. A community where EVERYONE, young and old, felt comfortable to ask questions, make comments, and engage with others in the room

You have officially made my day (heck, week!). And as my subject line says, “I heart you even more now.” YOU were everything I hoped for. You are such a delightful person, full of passion, knowledge, and motivation. Your presentation blew us all away. It was such a pleasure to meet you and I’m totally bragging left and right that I got to take YOU out to dinner the night before. Who says being President of AFP doesn’t have it’s perks? 😉 Thank you again. Many, many times over.
Fayth Ross, Executive Director, Urban Roots, Reno, NV
This is by far the best webinar I have ever participated in, hands down.  Mazarine not only presented fantastic material she did it in such an engaging manner.  I am looking forward to sharing all that I learned with my CEO and the marketing team as we start working on our annual report.  The information given was so timely and I can see where it will be useful in making our quarterly newsletter more effective as well.  Thanks for a turning a boring subject and a dreaded task into an exciting much anticipated adventure!

Attendee Feedback On Sponsorships:

Mazarine Treyz

“Within four hours of soaking in all of your wonderful lessons and advice, I was able to empower someone to bring in a hefty item for one of the Silent Auctions, and secure a major score of my own.

Better yet, using what I had learned within the prior twelve hours, I was able to put together a variety of sponsorship packages for a recently-revealed connection in an industry you mentioned AND

“Wow!”, I not only secured a $1500 sponsorship for a specific need, but just found out that we received a 15,000 sponsorship, as well. I’d say that’s a darned good return on one webinar!  Thanks a million!”    – Judi DeSouter, Director of Advancement at Catholic Elementary Development Partners, New York, NY
