“Dave Zimmer was the speaker at our annual in-service/faculty meeting. He delivered an inspirational message which focused on his ‘Top Ten Ways to Lead a Significant Life.’ He so impressed me that I asked for his contact information so that I could share it with other area school districts that they might benefit from his abilities. I highly recommend him if you need a motivational speaker in the future."
