"Robert L. Guyer's seminar on the Campaign Method to effective state advocacy was, perhaps, the best professional development experience of my career. Utilizing the Campaign Method, our membership secured passage of legislation that placed Ohio’s ESCs firmly at the center of regional education delivery and preserved our funding appropriation during a difficult economic downturn. I highly recommend Bob Guyer."
