Below are actual quotes from February 2009 CATT attendees:
Very informative & empowering. Thank you. Please consider conducting this training again so others will have the opportunity to attend.
Thank you CCRA for putting on this great event. I am leaving here this weekend with much more confidence and knowledge. Thank you again.
Wonderful, informational seminar. It took me out of my comfort zone and forced me to participate and become proactive.
Probably learned more in this seminar than any I've attended in a long time. Look out Sacramento! Far exceeded my expectations.
