Participant Comments
“Rick was really fantastic at giving relevant information and was always eager to hear feedback and questions from us. I really enjoyed the workshop as well as got a lot out of it. It motivated and inspired me to seek out grants.”
“I was very impressed both with our instructor and with my fellow attendees. All too often, workshops lack focus or simply don't provide the meaningful knowledge that I am seeking. Neither of these was the case for this workshop. If this was characteristic of all NAO workshops, my only suggestion would be to keep it up.”
