Thank you for making our event a true success--the highest attended our agency has ever conducted. I am still getting calls thanking me for bringing you. Three sponsors, who have never sponsored our events, are requesting we consider them for future sponsorship. Your presentation received incredibly great reviews. One caregiver wrote, "Ms Marcell is a delight. I was at the brink of tears upon arrival, but now I feel confident to face the future."

I have scheduled speakers for years, but your presentation was one of the very best received by the aging network and family caregivers. It is quite an accomplishment to address both professionals and family members and not shortchange anyone. The Educational Institute maintains very high standards on the caliber of speakers we hire, and your session proved to be a feather in our cap!

Thank you so much for your contribution to the success of Suddenly Senior! You definitely went above and beyond in your pre-program promotion of our event. A quote from an attendee: 'extremely effective--wonderful speaker. Jacqueline should visit all the senior service providers to teach and support them. Worth her weight in gold (no platinum) and then some!'
Betty L. Bowers, President, Home Instead Senior Care, Beachwood, OH

Your presentation at our Grand Rounds was extremely well received and evaluations are very favorable. By highlighting the psychosocial issues and the medical treatment, you have made all of us who heard your presentation more compassionate, concerned and effective physicians.

Jacqueline provided a fresh look at persons with Alzheimer's. Providers left feeling positive about the challenges of caring for their residents and had renewed hope of being able to care for them appropriately. Many commented that she was the best keynote speaker we have ever had.
Michelle Glasgow, Executive Director, Idaho Assisted Living Association

Jacqueline has the ability to speak to worker bees as well as top executives, and she offers a rare mix of talent and passion in her delivery. Her skill in using hindsight to help those confronting dementia is uncanny. What makes her so successful is her credibility of having lived 'in the trenches' and her willingness to share with no abandon. She weaves humor into her presentations, generating belly laughs from her audience, because they so deeply relate to her experiences. I highly recommend Jacqueline as a speaker and resource to anyone participating in eldercare.
Gail Goeller, Chair, Community Outreach Committee, Hospice of Spokane, WA

Your information will help so many more people than the 80 who heard you because you educated presidents of major U.S. corporations about the importance of early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, and the treatments that can help delay fulltime care. We will spread your knowledge to thousands of employees, which will save heartache, careers and money, because fewer hours will be needed away from the workplace to care for aging loved ones. That, in turn, will help America's productivity. Your presentation was invaluable!
Scott Martineau, Education Chair, Young Presidents' Organization, Bel Air, CA

For all of the sponsors this event was successful beyond anything we could have imagined. Over three hundred people heard your passionate message and had so much fun in the process. You educated, increased awareness and touched many lives in an uplifting way.
Roxy Mast, Director, Marriott Senior Living Communities, San Antonio, TX

Jacqueline is one of the very best ambassadors for caregivers and Adult Day Services everywhere. The National Adult Day Services Association (NADSA) honored her with one of our highest national awards for her dedication and tireless efforts. Adult Day Service providers appreciate her genuine, honest, insightful inspiration, and for sharing her gifts generously in behalf of all of us who are caring for an older adult.
Jan Nestler, Past Chair/NADSA, & Director, Eastside Adult Day Services, Bellevue, WA

Thank you for making our Caregiver's Forum an overwhelming success! The response to your presentations has been excellent with comments like these: 'Very informative and touching'…'brought humor and a lighter side to issues that can tear you apart'…'wonderful, very interesting, kept your attention.' The pre-conference publicity you did was responsible for a substantial increase in family caregivers attending our program.
