"The CTPAA Institute experience was both immediately applicable and forward focused.  I walked away with insight and solutions to the issues facing our industry today as well as strategies to build successful public affairs programs at Scripps Networks for the future."
Jerilyn Bliss, Vice President, Corporate Communications, Scripps Networks

"Let's face it, in our industry we have to be about lifelong learning ….This is the kind of place where I learn the most - with people I respect."
"… It's sometimes just the smallest of ideas when you place it in the context of your own work, it makes all the difference in the world. There were concepts that certainly were powerful, but also a lot of little ideas that all combined to make a really exciting experience."
"You know when I think about the ability to raise the talent level just through continuous learning and through this program, I think it is so important for our industry to continue this type of effort. So absolutely, I would recommend [the Institute] to any body in our field…"
-Craig Watson, Vice President of Communications, Charter Communications

" As a general manager I wear many hats and [the Institute] gave me an opportunity to take a look at not only how to execute a grassroots movement program, but also… PAC funding and other things that are very relevant to my cable association at the state level"
"I would highly recommend the Institute to others because it was a great opportunity to spend three days out of the office, without the distractions of the day to day operations, and interface with the professors and also the other students in the organization that face the same challenges. The curriculum was relevant and I think all of us found it to be very useful in what we're going to go back home and face."
-Michelle Cameron, General Manager, Cable ONE

"I recently returned to the cable industry after an 11 year absence and realized the industry had changed dramatically. I felt that this Institute would benefit me and would allow me to get caught up on the changes that had occurred in the industry."
"These 3 days at the Institute were absolutely amazing. I was introduced to concepts and initiatives that will truly benefit me as I go forward in this industry and I think everyone who attended would agree with that."
-Kena Lewis, Senior Director, Public Affairs & Communication, Bright House Networks, Florida Group

"It was such a valuable experience for me to learn about the industry and the upcoming issues, and to be in a collaborative environment with interesting people from our business."
-Kimberly Gilmore,Ph.D., Historian; Director, Corporate Outreach, A&E Television Networks

"[The Institute] was very helpful because it addressed a wide range of high-level public affairs topics at a level that, I thought, would ensure that almost all attendees could take away something new... I expect it will become a very sought after program and a crowning representation of CTPAA to the industry."
-Mark Harrad, Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications, Time Warner Cable

"I was pleasantly surprised that over the course of three days we could pack so much useful and instantaneously applicable information... I was impressed with the sincere interest of the professors, in our class and the questions we were asking."
-Tom Simmons, Vice President, Public Policy, Midcontinent Communications

"One central lesson that rang true through all of the presentations is that if you are properly prepared before a situation, you won't have every answer, but you'll have a base to work from. Having a strategic plan in place to handle anything that comes up is very important."
"Overall, the tie to [ George Washington University] left me feeling that it was a course that covered a lot in a short time. It was well thought out and [the presenters] were extremely credible and knowledgeable."
- Tom Chiapetta, director of media relations, Fox Sports Net

"Out of all the seminars I've attended... this Institute was one of the most insightful I have come across... To say that I would recommend this program is a gross understatement. I would emphatically do so."
-Steve Schorr, vice president, public and government affairs, Cox Communications Las Vegas
