What They Say About Me…

"Great job! The venue was very well decorated and cohesive. The panel stars were fabulous. I only came because I wanted to see Ruth Carter, but the other women were very interesting as well. Y'all's music choices were entertaining. And food service was pretty good!"

"Cherie thank you for the partnership all these years … your contributions have made a huge difference in us elevating our performance. This is our WIN."

“Outstanding! Everything was well done.”

"Thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the 6th annual AAP Leadership Luncheon.  Much thought went into whether it was the right time to return this staple event, and it’s clear from our leadership donors, sponsors and stakeholders that they are ready to ENGAGE! 

We appreciate the extra planning that went into executing this hybrid event.  I could not be more proud of the way the event was beautifully executed..."

"Cherie and team,

You have set a new bar for holiday events. When I think back to the days of the Excellence Awards, I realize how far we’ve come in recognizing the primary importance of enjoying one another’s company, appreciating the breadth of talent and creativity in our organization, and having maximum fun to celebrate this time of year..."

"I hope you’re all still glowing from this event. I heard so many compliments after the event. Cheryl N. pronounced it our best WLB ever, and I agree.

 I know that every one of you played a starring role in this event. Special shout-out to the ring master, Ms. Cherie Neal, who makes it all look effortless and never lets ‘em see her sweat......"

..."Yes, it was amazing! We were all talking about it all day. Each of the speakers did such a great job—I actually got teary-eyed a few times.

And everything else about the event setup felt very top of the line. (Like the programs, the centerpieces, the photographer, the wait service, the stage setup.) ......"

"Truly, it was perfect in content, length, panelists and Q&A.  I can’t think of a better way than what UWGA has done through this pandemic to show the unique value and importance of United Way..."

"Thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of Saturday’s 5th annual UWGA AAP Leadership Luncheon. 

This event consistently draws a large crowd, has a lot of moving parts and I appreciate you going the extra mile.  I could not be more proud of the way the event was beautifully executed..."

“This event was fantastic. The energy from the start with the DJ, the awesome support shown for the award winners and the natural rapport and cadence of the chat btw Monica & Robin. It blew me away. I can't wait to be back together in person, but even apart, this event was perfect!”

"One of the best organized events I've ever attended. I was very impressed with the communication, shuttles to and from MARTA, the start and finish, packet and t-shirt pickup, basically EVERYTHING! Thanks for a great event, and I can't wait for next year."

'Working with you has been a highlight of my career! You make things look flawless, no matter what the behind the scenes might look like to you!..."

" It was executed 99% flawlessly, so great job. Thought it was incredibly well organized, and terrific fun to boot."

You have been running on all cylinders for the past few weeks! THANK YOU!! I am truly humbled by the hard work and dedication that you show to our United Way of Greater Atlanta. Thank you for the tremendous time and energy you all invested to make the 8th Annual Leading a Life of Purpose a true success!

I am proud to announce that in addition to delivering a thoughtful and insightful program, this year’s event raised more than .......and counting! It is the highest earning Leading a Life of Purpose since its inception.

Again, thank you for all that you do.

"This is a note of appreciation for everyone’s commitment to our mission. Yesterday, we executed a wonderful State of the Children breakfast program that both captured community energy and highlighted our unique role as stewards of the Child Well-Being Movement..."

"The words “thank you” do not adequately express my gratitude for your hard work in making Leading a Life of Purpose the phenomenal success that it was."

“The amount of volunteers, pre-planning and overall organization of the event was top notch. These things for me, as a participant, will have me coming back next year."

"Thank you for your support and leadership to make the C3 Conference a success. This project has definitely benefited from your project management expertise, attention to detail and your stellar ability to refocus a group on solutions....."

"Cherie-

Let me start off by saying that I do not think I will ever have a planner like you—we are a dream team! I told Lauren that if all my meeting planners could be you—I would love my job more than I already do!  I compliment your uniqueness and one in a million attitude—your style and sheik personality completely shined through your event!  Like I said all week and before you even landed on site for this event—your partnership with our hotel is second to none—we appreciate all you did to help us help you!

On behalf of my entire team at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis, please allow me to extend a sincere thank you for providing us the opportunity to host the United Way C3 Conference!"
