| "By far the information and trainers exceeded my expectations. My experience was filled with solid information, group participation, and superb presentation. |
| [The trainers] each did a wonderful job. The information was presented in a way that was understandable, with examples that breathed life into the terminology. |
| This was my first training opportunity with NeighborWorks America and I look forward to future opportunities. Keep up the good work. You are providing tools to help us all impact our agencies, clients and communities. Thank you again!" - NCHEC Training Participant |
