"I felt like I was able to make a professional as well as a personal connection."
Working with Great Black Speakers has been a real pleasure. Working out all of the details was easy because I was able to talk to you in a more laid-back, personal way than I would have expected; I felt that I was able to make a professional as well as personal connection, which made the process actually enjoyable. Also, when there were times of confusion on my part, dealing with the contracts and payment, it was nice to have someone who was willing to explain the details numerous times and help me to understand. It was also great to work with a company that was understanding of our needs and our experience.

Our overall experience with this organization was one of the most positive ones that we could ever ask for, and it really made this complicated process of organizing an event of this magnitude less stressful. RCMBA will definitely keep Great Black Speakers in mind when planning future events." - Troy Spence, The Roberto Clemente Minority Business Association

"We think this may have been the most exciting and best lecture ever!"
"Definitely would use Great Black Speakers again. Lawrence was very attentive, helpful at the beginning when we identified possible speakers and actively involved in the booking, scheduling and coordination aspects of obtaining Leonard Pitts, Jr. for our engagement. We think this may have been the most exciting and best lecture ever! Since it is an election year, that added to the drama: Title: Race, Politics and the Drama of Obama. THANK YOU!" - Jill Demichle, Arizona State University
