Hildy’s asset-based approach and well-thought-out and well-articulated principles, delivered with such passion, are exactly what we need today amid so much economic uncertainty. Through her books (Pollyanna Principles in particular), talks, and facilitation work here on our university campus, she has inspired forward thinking and excitement about how we can achieve our goals to improve our community. That’s no small feat even in the best of times, and quite astonishing in this era of painful budget cutting. Thank you, Hildy!
