Testimonials for Shelley Ware
The Long Walk were honoured to have Shelley Ware as our MC for the 2015 Long Walk Women’s Lunch at the Atrium, Flemington. As one of TLW’s Indigenous Facilitators and a true supporter of the holistic work of the TLW , it was a pleasure to have Shelley along for the ride. In the lead up to the event Shelley was so easy to work with. Shelley was very flexible in her time and also quite understanding of the perplexities in pulling together an event of this size (over 700 in attendance). I found Shelley to be respectful, approachable and showed a genuine interest in the key note speakers, guest, sponsors and the like.
