"The response from our ENTIRE organization to Gina’s address has
been overwhelming! We knew that the idea of our folks hearing about the
world of hardware from Gina’s perspective would be valuable, but we did not
anticipate how they would react. Almost everyone that I spoke with directly
after Gina left asked when she was coming back. Mission Accomplished!!"
