- Laurie Mercer, Community Development Specialist, Tulare County

“Dr. Hamner, I wanted to pass on some great news! Friends of mine called on me to help them with a grant in an eleventh hour effort. The tools you taught me paid off brilliantly. Using the Clear, Concise and Compelling approach paired with the Logic model made my job a snap. Best of all they were awarded the maximum dollars available. Thank you for imparting the tools that have enabled me to contribute to my community in this way.”
-Kathy Bylenok

“I just wanted to share some good news – We (The Immune Enhancement Project) have been approved for funding! What I learned from your workshop has been invaluable in this endeavor!! Thanks again!”

-Valley Rogers, Director Early Childhood Development, Bainbridge College

“Thank you for your efforts in this Workshop. It was informative and stimulating, and well beyond anything I have found in other seminars or workshops. Your energy and preparation were very much appreciated. I will certainly recommend you to my colleagues.”

“Things came together and these tools can be put to great use for a successful grant!”

-Margaret P. Case , Associate Director of Development, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute

“Your workshop exceeded my expectations. It was enjoyable as well as informative. I can't think of anything to improve your presentation or the information provided. I will certainly encourage others to take the opportunity to participate in the future.
-Tari Harris, Liaison, South Immokalee Front Porch

“I signed up and am glad I did. I learned a lot about the grant writing/evaluation process of which I knew nothing. You pointed us to ways through the maze of bureaucratic stuff that seems a little overwhelming at first. With tools like the Logic Models, systems, and flow charts, this stuff started looking manageable. Thanks for everything.”
-Philip S. Harris Jr.

“Thanks so much. I learned so much & now have a method to write grants. I was weak in grant writing & it was hurting me.”

“[The workshop] gave me the tools to reorganize my program so that I can begin writing proposals.”

“The individual attention was great. Having information on logic models and program evaluation was very helpful and something not included in other workshops I have attended.”

“Dr. Hamner is extremely engaging and makes the time go by very fast. Very knowledgeable about program evaluation; Very practical & handouts were very useful, very user-friendly! Applies theory to real life/programs, which helps workshop make sense – Very worthwhile and worth entire cost of workshop.”

“I was challenged to think through my objectives and evaluations in ways I had not been before. I also saw more fully the work that goes into writing grants properly.”

“Dr. Hamner’s training on evaluation has been very helpful. I now have to re-write my entire evaluation of my project!”

“Very good material and well presented. Good pacing on information, helpful examples provided. Helpful attitude about making sure people understand, and backtracking to ensure understanding if needed.”

“I appreciated the logical overview of the grant writing process. The presentation was clear and orderly. The information was/is extremely beneficial, especially for novice grant writers thrust into this odd profession. Objective creation is especially useful.”

“This is an excellent workshop. It changed the way I think about developing and evaluating my programs and why I'm doing this.”

“It gave me a place to start and a way to succeed!”

“The information is exceptionally useful – things I hadn’t even thought of were discussed.”

“I really enjoyed your class and look forward to testing out my skills in the coming months.”

“You personalized information to the needs of the group. You accepted questions gracefully. You brought things to a simple level. Your examples were excellent.”
