Mary is a dynamic woman, who really knows how to be the important link by using her great networking skills.  Reading her book PR WORKS has given me new insight into this important role in every business. I recommend her book for all business owners who would like to get better insight into the on going value of public relations. I look forward to participate in her workshop in Cairo, Egypt in November 07.
