From Melinda Fine, Director, Communities for Public Education Reform, Public Interest Projects, May 2011:
Ginger Donnan Events is an event planning firm extraordinaire. Since 2008, Ginger has masterfully managed the planning process for the annual conference of Communities for Public Education Reform, a thirty million dollar funding initiative that annually convenes some 300 national education leaders, community groups, and funders from around the country. In the months leading up to our recent conference, we relied on Ginger to manage every possible logistical element (venue identification, participant registration, travel and hotel accommodations, entertainment and food selection, room set-up, budget planning and tracking); we were thrilled with the results. On site, she and her team were unflappable and resourceful in solving any problems that arose, allowing our staff to focus our attention where it needed to be. Ginger is terrifically well-organized, thorough, attentive to every last detail, and on top of it all, an absolute pleasure to work with. We look forward to having her plan our conference next year, knowing we’ll be in exceptionally good hands.
From Julie Kohler, Director of Education & Civic Engagement, Public Interest Projects, 2008-2010:
Ginger Donnan’s handling of these events is nothing less than stunning. Not only does she attend to every detail flawlessly, but she also makes all of our participants feel so important and respected. The professionalism she brings to these events is an important validation of their work, and the fact that she has become, to many of our grantees, an extension of our staff team, is a testament to her warmth and compassion.Julie Kohler, Director of Education & Civic Engagement, Public Interest Projects, 2008-2010
