“Dear Mr. Howard, Thank you very much for serving as the keynote speaker for our annual Faculty/Staff Retreat at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. We appreciate the effort you put into the meeting and your presentation on “Excelling in Teamwork”. Everyone that participated in the retreat planning process was impressed by your ability to get the audience involved and inspired. This accomplishment was no small feat considering you were addressing an audience that included our faculty and staff, which represents a wide range of backgrounds and includes responsibilities for the full scope of functions at our school.”
