"Ed Ruggero has a unique talent for getting to the heart of an issue and communicating to any particular audience. He is a natural communicator. From an administrative standpoint he is also the ideal guest speaker in the sense that is easy going and engaging in his personality. He is flexible, self-reliant and can easily mesh into any agenda or programmatic change. He is modest and not hung up on his ego like other big speakers."
