Winners of the Evaluation Contest

On Thursday, March 16, CTI Techtalkers held a great evaluation contest in which all four contestants did outstanding evaluations. Every contestant was a winner as they all said the experience taught them how to be better listeners and more effective evaluators. The test speaker, Emily, was from Igniters. Dressed all in green, Emily did a funny and enlightening speech on the history of St. Patrick's Day in her speech, "The Blarney of St. Patrick's Day".
Marc placed first, and Joann placed second. Marc will go on to represent CTI Techtalkers at the Area contest on April 1. If for any reason, Marc is unable to compete, Joann will compete in his stead.
