"Jerry is the "Samson" of professional development. We had the largest chapter meeting in over 25 years was acheived at "A Day with Jerry Panas." (15o lunches served and 65 books sold.) Accolades continue to roll in!"

- Neil Dentzer, President AFP, Central Florida Chapter

"Our trustees absolutely loved you! Thank you for spending two days with us in Seattle. Our staff also came away feeling inspired and motivated by your presentation. You were such an inspiration that immediately after you left, one of our board members challenged our trustees to fund our international work and five individuals made a $50,000 pledge. We raised a total of $500, including a matching grft! If we count another matching fund, we raised $1.5m after your presentation—incredible!"

- Norma Fuentes, Nature Conservancy

"Thank you, thank you a million times over. Thirteen years ago I decided to give fundraising a try— thinking it would probably not work out. I'd just get a knot in my stomach thinking about cultivating and asking for gifts. Then, I started reading your articles in Contributions magizine which lead to reading your books. You changed my career because you changed my attitude. You're the reason I love my job!"

-Cynthia, Hamline University
