Reviews

Testimonials (1)

Susanne Tedrick was one of AnitaB.org Systers webinar presenters. Her topic Foundations of Cloud Computing was well organized and executed. During the presentation, she demonstrated her expertise and ability to pass her knowledge to others in a comprehensible form. Above all, she engaged attendees in her topic with several poll questions making the webinar more interactive. We will be happy to host Susanne as a speaker anytime in the future.
