Bio
Dr. James Willbanks
I first met Yvette some 15 years ago when I was her instructor at the Army Command and General Staff College. She was one of the best students I have had in my 25+ years on the faculty. She has a brilliant mind coupled with an effervescent personality. Her energy knew no bounds. Over the years, we have stayed in contact and I have monitored her career closely, noting her unbroken record of achievement in every increasing positions of responsibility. She is a proven leader, who works well in collaborative environments and willingly seeks out the most difficult tasks, always achieving outstanding results. I have no doubt that she will succeed in any endeavor and she gets my strongest recommendation.
