"[For our staff retreat], Annette Petrick ... overcame any fears and skepticism that were brought into the room, and she guided us though several sensitive subjects to consensus for change. Her wrap-up on site, followed up with a written summary, convinced us of how much ground we had successfully covered."
... My education and training director's conclusion was, "She doesn't just have the skill, she has a gift."

"Kudos to Annette Petrick on her ethics article in the August 16th
issue [of Association Trends]. She avoided the trap of too many ethics writers, who soft pedal real
issues and inadvertently help associations avoid ugly truths. The sentence
that really grabbed me was, "If ads show women and minorities in photos, can
they be found on committees and in leadership". Wow! That's the kind of
questions associations need to ask themselves....and answer honestly. Best
of all...she didn't suggest writing a Code of Ethics as a solution to
anything!"
