Bondy Shay Gibson, Ed.D.

Superintendent, Jefferson County Schools
“PPR Strategies collaborated closely with us to truly understand our community, allowing their team to develop branding and a website that authentically reflects the spirit of Orange County.”

Rose Deal

Former Director of Orange County Economic Development & Tourism
“Sandy provided an economic development perspective that our aviation community really needed to hear. She was able to relate to our audience and provide them with actionable strategies for collaboration between aviation and economic development — two industries that should be working together every day, but often get stuck in their own silos. She provided examples of successful collaborations in airports across the country, along with customizing specific suggestions for our audience. Her energy and enthusiasm makes her the perfect after-lunch keynote.”
