Testimonials

“It was the best presentation I attended at the National Main Street Conference. I’ve told many people about her since returning home. I loved her “cheap” ideas, and she has a wonderful sense of humor.” Betty J. Wood, Libby Main Street, Libby, Montana

“I liked the variation of ideas and the simple fact that she didn’t have a continuous list of bullets. She had concise ideas and was able to present them descriptively through situations and stories.” Sean Bender, Director, Center of Community & Learning Partnerships at Wentworth Institute of Technology, Boston, Massachusetts

“The Michigan Downtown Conference and the Michigan Main Street program had Team Halo in for our Annual conference. Wow! What an impact! Their energetic and entertaining sessions on using new technologies lit a fire under the seats of everyone there. By the end of the following week every Michigan Main Street community was on Facebook and half had blogs letting the world know about their downtowns. Our program and staff are now using these technologies to promote our successes and enhance our communication too. We wouldn’t have thought about had it not been for Team HALO.” Joseph B. Borgstrom, Director, Specialized Technical Assistance & Revitalization Strategy (STARS) Division, Michigan State Housing Development Authority

“She clearly knew her stuff and what she wanted to do with the presentation.”
Cathy Pescinski, Harvard Main Street, Harvard, Illinois

“I loved learning how to re-access the business costs to see where I need to be and how to save on expenses…the value of staying in touch with previous clients and asking them for more referrals to keep the business coming. I left invigorated and ready for action.” Sue Rosenbaum, Incoming President of Interior Design Society, Washington D.C. Metro Chapter

“Marianna is Energetic, excited, enthusiastic, passionate. I left feeling pumped up, ready to evaluate my business. This was a well presented, enthusiastic presentation.”
