Rolande is a terrific speaker. Her keynote presentation for one of our signature BRG events was highly informative and full of lots of useful information, strategies, tips and tools for increasing our recruitment and retention of women from the military. She clearly drew on her years of experience in the military and as a veteran, and her sage advice enabled us to target several areas where we could better leverage our time and resources. If someone’s on the fence [about enrolling in BLPS], I encourage you to do it. People within the program, including myself, they’re definitely getting results both monetary and spiritually.
