Anna is warm, engaging and inspiring.  We'll be sure to invite her back to all of our future events.  Anna gave the keynote address at our annual Sustainability Summit. The audience gave her rave reviews.

Georgeann Moss, Director of Internet Publishing, Dallas County Community College District

We were elated to host Anna Clark as one of our plenary speakers at our Mission and Environment Conference in Orlando, Florida.  Anna was the perfect fit as she unraveled the economic, health, and spiritual benefits of having a greener lifestyle.  In a time of economic uncertainty, her session was of great benefit to many Salvation Army leaders in charge of budgeting, grants, and fund-raising.  She was well prepared and active in the weekend beyond what she was asked to do.  Anna was a great addition to our conference. I would highly recommend her to anyone."
