If you are looking for a Hero, a Role Model and 10+ Speaker--Hire Tamara Hall. She’s wonderful? Our first mission is to engage her to come back to next years’ conference. California State Athletic directors Association

Tamara has been the Keynote Speaker at the last two Teachers’ Institutes. After receiving a standing ovation at her first engagement, I knew the teachers would enjoy having her back. While I didn’t think it would be possible, her second presentation was as well, or better received than her first. Her message, tailored to the interests and needs of professional educators, mixed humor, patriotism, optimism and inspiration. Once again, a standing ovation—a rare occurrence at this type of gathering—showed the appreciation of her audience. As a Keynoter Tamara Hall simply can’t miss. She is the best I have seen/heard in 37 years of education. Hancock/McDonough Regional Office of Education #26
