"As co-chairs of the Seminars on Wheels committee for the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents Conference, we worked closely with Helen Gormont and Cathy Worthington at Carpe Diem Travel."
"Our conference was held in Rochester in October 2009. Our committee was responsible for planning educational tours for the expected 1,000 conference participants."
"While our committee planned out the framework for most of the 19 different tours, Helen and Cathy's expertise in tour planning and management helped assure our success. Their extensive knowledge of the Rochester area provided unique and delicious lunch options for each tour, their suggestions on amount of time needed for each tour component helped us plan out our itinerary, and they often were able to recommend a stop that complimented the tour theme. They even knew how long we needed to plan for loading and unloading a bus!! Their ability to secure all of the busses we needed, and facilitate all forms of payment made our job a bit more enjoyable."
"It was a pleasure working with Helen and Cathy - they were responsive and sensitive to our needs and last minute changes, they were quick in responding to our questions and concerns, and even came to our launch site the morning of the tours and stood in the pouring rain to help us board each bus."
