“I have attended multiple training sessions led by Melinda Trotti
and highly respect her as a trainer. Melinda clearly understands
our field and does a great job delivering content in a way that trainees understand. She has both the real world experience and the background knowledge that anyone hoping to become
an interim director needs. I would highly recommend that anyone considering taking their first interim position attend Melinda’s Interim Camp Director’s class.” – Gareth
