What People Are Saying About Our Speakers:

About Betty Swinners:

She challenged my thinking. Betty was great. She was not an academic person, she has lived what she talks about. I enjoyed Betty's honesty and forthrightness regarding cultural realities. Betty's approach integrated games and discussion with program. Betty gave me a much greater appreciation for African American and Latino cultures. The entire presentation was great. This has been the best diversity program I have been to over my years of involvement with 4-H youth development. Betty was a very good speaker, she made me think.
