Audience reviews:
Vaughn and Keith were fantastic last week, of course a huge hit with our crowd and we will most definitely be booking them again for next year. - Director, Events and Partnerships, British Columbia Chamber of Commerce
Keith was great! He had the crowd fully enthralled, laughing and lots of questions afterwards. He was gracious enough to join a couple of sessions on Saturday, attended the banquet that night and made some good connections. We were able to get him a carpool to/from the airport in Castlegar which was a bonus! Looking forward to working with him again in PG for the Edge of the Ledge. - Meeting Planner, Association of Kootenay and Boundary Local Governments
The Cutting Edge of the Ledge Panel [Vaughn Palmer, Keith Baldrey and Bill Good] was terrific! - Director, Finance and Administration, BC Chamber of Commerce
