Compliments for Michael's
Work |
![]() |
“You were a "hit" with the
staff and accomplished what I'd hoped... You've made some converts in
Decatur, gave me some great openings to keep the requests flowing, and
provided me with the "potential of what might be"… I'd
be more than happy to "host" you again - you're always welcome
in Decatur.” |
"We have contracted with Michael twice to provide
two-day training sessions for transportation professionals in metro
Atlanta. These workshops have provided more bang for the buck than just
about anything else we have done during the past seven years. Hearing
the message from a DOT-employed professional brings a long of credibility
to the issues advocates are promoting." “Thanks again for coming to Atlanta. As always, you opened a
lot of people's eyes to possibilities.” |
|
“Thank you again for a WONDERFUL series. Please feel free to
use me and/or Pace as a reference in the future.” |
|
“[Michael’s workshop] was one of the best and most helpful
sessions I have ever attended. Not only was he exceptionally articulate
and diplomatic, but his was one of the best applications of PowerPoint
that I've ever seen. The use of images with diagrams superimposed made
the points he made exceptionally clear. Thanks again for a truly uplifting
experience…” |
|
"[Michael Ronkin] is widely considered to be the most effective
state coordinator in the country... Michael is a visionary… He
has the rare ability to see what a city can look like if we provide
accommodations to cyclists and walkers, He is always looking for creative
solutions. He pulls in European models and encourages communities to
try new, innovative strategies to make biking and walking accessible
in both cities and suburbs. He has changed the culture in Oregon so
that engineers see bike and pedestrian facilities as part of their own
vision for transportation. That is a huge step forward." |
|
“Thank you again for a wonderful workshop! I am still receiving
emails from people saying how much they learned and enjoyed it.”
|
|
“Thanks again for coming-- everyone has told me how much they
liked the content and what a good speaker you are. I thought your PowerPoint
was exceptionally well chosen/organized and you have a wonderful gift
for remembering local street names that goes a LONG way toward earning
local trust.” |
|
"We have been getting a lot of positive feedback from participants.
There is no doubt that everyone took away some useful information. You
did a great job in covering a massive amount of information and presenting
it in an informative, relaxed way. A number of the evaluations note
the depth of knowledge you have and indicate an appreciation of your
styles of delivery. All in all, I'd say we can all feel that we achieved
our goals. Thank you so much for your tireless and enthusiastic dedication
to improving conditions for pedestrians. I believe these workshops will
definitely make a positive difference in the way pedestrian issues are
addressed in the various units at DOT." |
|
"Once again, my thanks for your visit and sharing your wealth
of knowledge. |
