What others are saying

Guy has been my Major Donor professor at the Master in Fundraising, and my mentor during my internship at SAIT Polytechnic in Calgary, Canada. Let me say that he is simply one of the best professors and fundraisers I have ever met. It’s hard to find someone that can unite passion and professionalism, but this is Guy: he really believes in what he does, and he does it very well. If he is in town for a conference, absolutely don’t miss him! And, let me also say that he is becoming an excellent italian speaker… May 19, 2010
