Dr. Naber’s was a key speaker at our 10 year anniversary event. I’ve also seen her speak at other educational and community events. She has a wealth of knowledge and a great presence. She breaks down information and makes it relevant so that it speaks directly to the audience she’s presenting to
I will never forget Dr. Naber’s lecture at the Field museum in Chicago. She was brilliant, engaging, and captivated the audience. She used stories that powerfully moved the audiences and she inspired us to think in entirely new ways about some of the most urgent issues of our times. Audience members continued to praise her presentation long after her visit. Her presentation has opened the door for ongoing opportunities to engage on these issues and more – and we are tremendously grateful for her time with us!
