Dear Colleagues:

Many of you have asked me to update you about my speaking programs so that we may stay in touch about upcoming conferences, get together to chat, or possibly schedule presentations when I am in your area.

You might note that many of the programs involve school safety, motivating the reluctant learner, and educating the whole child. School and community collaborations, as well as, dropout prevention and alternative education are addressed. A basic theme is that safe and healthy kids learn more and live better. Some programs are for students, some for professionals, and others for communities.
