. . . Erin, these are the best evaluations I that I have ever scored.  Obviously, the participants were very impressed. . . I wish we could have you back every month and if we did, even after six months, we would still “sell out the house!”

Thank you again and I hope you know how much we appreciate your hard work.

Washington Health Care Association
It has been the privilege of the Washington Health Care Association to work with Erin Bonitto for the past several years at a variety of conferences, workshops and conventions.  Ms. Bonitto has provided a number of training events for our members, and we have found her presentations to be insightful, timely, motivating and enriching.  It is not often that we are asked to bring an individual back time and again to provide continuing education, but Ms. Bonitto is the exception.

Attendees have commented on her exceptionally down-to-earth style and the wealth of information she provides based on her experience in long term care.  Ms. Bonitto does not only preach, per se, she has practiced it first.  From her youthful experience of working in a dish room at a facility, she propelled into the world of long term care delivery and shares her years of knowledge and experience in a manner that caregivers can easily connect with.  Comments on evaluations range from the best I’ve ever heard, and I’ve been in long term care for 25 years to please, please, please bring her back…she is exceptional.

We highly recommend Ms. Bonitto for any training event you are hosting.  Attendees will find her a refreshing keynote, an informational trainer and very fun person to talk to during breaks and meals.  If your needs require affordable, effective and exceptional training, Ms. Bonitto is what you are looking for.

Erin Bonitto has presented many sessions for KAHSA over the last several years and I highly recommend as a presenter. She not only has sessions that are great for activities staff but for all disciplines.  We even had her present at our 2006 Nurse Leaders Conference. She did a day long program for Nurses and it couldn’t have gone better.  She and her husband Chris presented at our Annual Convention this spring, our biggest conference of the year and they were the hit of the conference.

Some of the comments from the Spring Convention sessions were:
•    “On the nail topic – great ideas that can be achieved.”
•    “Erin is an absolutely fantastic presenter!  Entertaining, full of experience and information.  Reminds me why I’m in this business!”

These were some of the great things that people wrote on their evaluations, but I can tell you that the buzz following each of the sessions was even greater than these words convey.  Both Erin and Chris were also incredibly friendly, and kind, even with a novice meeting planner! I hope to have them back soon!

Your ability to engage and captivate an audience is truly inspiring!  . . .the numbers alone attest to your thought-provoking message and your professional ability, but I would like to go beyond the numbers to share with you what our conference attendees shared with me:

- “Great speaker, lively, and entertaining!”
- "She was able to add real-life examples that we have all experienced.”
- “She keeps your attention with humor – and she’s very knowledgeable.”
- “Good examples – kept me interested for 3.5 hours!”
- “Erin should give training to all other speakers on how to be an effective speaker and keep your audience’s attention!”

Erin, you made a name for yourself within WAHSA.  We long will remember you and the impact you had upon our association.  You provided us with the information and ideas we will need to lead our profession into a new future. . . .

Sincerely,
John Sauer, Executive Director

. . .many of my attendees could not wait to fill out the evaluations and shared with me during breaks how much they were truly enjoying your program.  You even had those CEU seekers fully engaged!!  And, I saw many of the administrators working with staff on your ideas before they left the meeting room at the end of the session.  Your ability to give them real [resident] examples and to convey it on their level really hit home with everyone from the Administrator on to the Activities staff and the Nursing staff.  We hope to have you back again soon.

Your presentations exceeded all expectations!

First of all, your organization and attention to every detail made the scheduling and preparation for the program so easy on my end!  Your professionalism was very evident in your preconference planning!

The fact that the session was filled to capacity attested to your wonderful marketing materials for the session.  Attendees left with many valuable tools to assist them in their work.  Just as important, they left inspired!  You did a tremendous job of providing a full day program that held their attention for the entire day. “Enthusiastic, Entertaining, Educational, Informative, Very Knowledgeable”; your evaluations were filled with positive comments!

It was such a pleasure to work with you and Chris.  I look forward to receiving information on future offerings.  Please feel free to use my name as a reference!  I would gladly share your wonderful evaluations with prospective clients!  Working with you was a great experience.  Thanks again for a marvelous job!
