I’ve known Don for at five+ years through our volunteer work at KOTESOL (board membership, conferences, annual leadership retreats and publications). I highly recommend Don for both his effective leadership and teamwork skills. What I admire most about Don is when people have ideas—in any situation—he responds respectfully and with genuine, insightful feedback and encouragement. Working with Don is easy and enjoyable and things get done!
