“Jan McInnis spoke at our recent Affordable Housing Association of AR conference. She was very well received and a BIG hit. Jan has a way of helping site managers in the affordable housing world learn to diffuse situations in the every day world with humor and to take a deep breath and step back from the situation, and regroup, which is very much needed. She was the spot light of our conference. I would refer Jan at any time to anyone. Excellent presentation. Very easy to work with for sure!”
