There is no doubt in my mind that Marti is one of the very best speakers I’ve heard in my 20 years of working in the substance use disorder and mental health fields. Marti has an ability to gain trust and respect immediately by the depth of her knowledge, her lived experience and let’s not forget her sense of humor. Marti delivered a message of hope, love, and courage to women in recovery and to those who work with them. I believe that the reason she has such an impact on all people she presents to is that she is clearly genuine in every regard. People in recovery can see through hypocrisy.

Dear Marti,
I hope you and Chris have recovered from your trip to Southwest Indiana. Many of my friends and colleagues have let me know how much they enjoyed your presentations on July 19th and July 20th, and how impressed they were with your energy and message of hope and understanding. As you know, the Evansville area works collaboratively to promote drug and alcohol prevention, and treatment while working with local, regional and state law enforcement; your presentation was appealing to all three types of service providers.

As you know, the Evansville area works collaboratively to promote drug and alcohol prevention and treatment while working with local, regional and state law enforcement; your presentation was appealing to all three types of service providers. It was also noted from those of us who attended both presentations that you never repeated a personal story, keeping the audience engaged and more aware of addiction and recovery.

To Whom It May Concern,
Using her own struggles and personal journey to recovery, Marti MacGibbon inspired and motivated our community as we celebrated Pride, Progress, and Perseverance during our chamber’s Annual Meeting.
Living in a community that is battling the war of addiction it was important to find a speaker that would resonate with business and community leaders who, every day, face this epidemic. Marti was the right speaker.
Since her presentation, we’ve heard from community members who were rejuvenated in their commitment to help those seeking help.

To Whom lt May Concern,
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Marti MacGibbon! Marti recently presented at the South Bay Coalition to End Human Trafficking 2017 Conference, of which the Office of Women’s Policy was a partner and Marti is an incredible speaker!
Marti was a panelist on the “Intersection Between the Drug Industry and Human Trafficking,” and she addressed the use of drug addiction as a form of coercion – one of the elements required to prove an adult victim has been trafficked in the prosecution of an exploiter.

Thank you for coming to share your story of hope and healing with the audience at our fundraising gala An Evening of Hope. Your willingness to be the face of recovery from addiction, trauma, trafficking and homelessness helped the audience understand more about the needs of the women at Our Hope as they begin the process of turning their lives around.

Marti MacGibbon came to Ames, Iowa in Sept. 2016 to help my organization and other local providers to celebrate National Recovery Month. Marti spoke to an audience of about 500 people at Iowa State University Memorial Union about the topics of hope, resilience and empowerment when impacted by life obstacles. Marti delivered an excellent presentation, which included heartfelt messages…Marti used humor, but still sent an excellent message to the audience. The response from the audience was overwhelming, and the feedback was phenomal regarding the messages she left with all attendees. I strongly recommend Marti MacGibbon as a speaker.
