Anyone up for a Great Talk?
One of the great benefits of being in business for over 23 years is the number of wonderful and talented people I have met along the way! One such person that has plenty of wonderful and talent is Diane Leigh Davison, a local Attorney and Entrepreneur. Diane, along with her mother Claudine Davison, a Film and Arts Consultant, were kind enough to invite me to be involved with a group that is making positive things happen here in the greater Baltimore area in the form of Great Talk Inc.
Please visit www.GreatTalk.org to learn more about this dynamic speaker series that is hoping connect people, build bridges and understanding. These talks will kick off with Thomas Drake (see below) on December 5, with 4 more to be scheduled in early 2018. Please note that a tremendous effort has been dedicated to making this series an accessible, interactive and relevant experience for all involved. Hope to see you there!

THOMAS DRAKE
FORMER NSA SENIOR EXECUTIVE. AND WHISTLEBLOWER.
Thomas Drake served as a senior executive at the NSA from 2001 to 2008. He brought his concerns about wasteful spending at the NSA and the government’s surveillance program to a Baltimore Sun reporter; he was later charged by the Obama Administration with leaking classified information under the Espionage Act, but the charges were ultimately dropped.
Please see the impressive group of Baltimore Area movers and shakers that are part of the Board of Directors and Advisory Board, as well as the partners connected to GreatTalk.
