"We hired Ed Rigsbee to facilitate our sessions focused on marketing at our annual convention. This was a huge challenge as our members have traditionally not looked at the broader picture in terms of what can be done differently to re-focus our products and thus grow our industry. Ed's succinct, yet gung-ho facilitating process led the members to where THEY thought they initially couldn't  go, to knowing it was the only way to go. For our group, that was huge. Ed has an uncanny ability for professional facilitating. Thanks for setting us our future course."  -Jane McEwen, Executive Director, International Packaged Ice Association
