Dr. Karla’s political idol, Shirley Chisholm, once stated, “You don’t make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas”, and she truly felt this statement affirmed by the participants feedback throughout and at the conclusion of her presentation.
