Extreme Crisis Communications Seminar Series

"I really enjoyed your presentation particularly as it reinforced my teaching points for a sociology class I teach at UA for sociology, political science,

communications and emergency management students - The Social Impact of Disasters.

It's always good for the soul when an experienced professional emphasizes the importance of the same points !"

"We had a chemical spill in Madison Village on May 29, 2008. The entire incident was handled well because our Police Chief, Road Superintendent

and myself had been to your Extreme Crisis Comm seminar on May 15th at Lakeland Community College. Thank you for all of the excellent information.

If we have a major incident in the future, your company will be the first place I call."

Matthew R. Zapp

Village Administrator

"I wanted to let you know that during my 32 years with the City of Cleveland I have had the opportunity to attend many seminars.

I have to say that your seminar yesterday - Extreme Crisis Communications, sponsored by the Cuyahoga County Emergency Management Agency -

was one of the best, if not the best seminar I have ever attended. I would describe it as informative, educational, enjoyable, ‘a must attend’ seminar.”
