WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING ABOUT MARCIA WASHBURN . . .
"I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Marcia for several years. During this time, she has displayed a
consistent professionalism and friendliness that has made working with her both easy and pleasurable. As a veteran
homeschooling mom, author, and speaker, Marcia is well acquainted with the everyday challenges and struggles
homeschoolers face. Communicating from this perspective, she is able to reach out to other homeschooling moms right
where they are--not at the pinnacle of perfection, but down in the trenches, fighting the battles, and winning the hard-
fought victories for the next generation. Marcia is passionate about Christian home education, and delights in serving the
needs of the homeschooling community. I consider it an honor and pleasure to call Marcia not only a colleague, but also a
true friend and compatriot in the battle for the next generation.”
~Jonathan Lewis, Editor of Home School Enrichment Magazine
"Marcia has been well received by the constituents in Colorado. She has a great wealth of experience and wisdom in the
areas of music, hands-on activities, and organization. Her approach is very practical. When she speaks, she shares from
experience, as well as knowledge. She is very organized and thorough. She has spoken at the Colorado Denver
conference on many subjects for multiple years in a row and no one has ever complained about getting someone new. She
is a woman of high integrity, and very eager to serve others. She is loyal and faithful, and yet honest and truthful, as
well. I think you would be blessed to have her as a speaker at your conference."
~Jeannette Gaiter, Former State Conference Coordinator Co-Chair
"Thank you so much for speaking to our group last Thursday night. We truly appreciate the effort you went to, to bring
so much information, experience and knowledge to our group. We all enjoyed you thoroughly and are looking at
scheduling another workshop in the near future."
~Anne, Support Group Leader
"Hi Marcia, What a blessing it's been getting to know you. It's not everyday that God has you cross paths with someone
special. Your encouragement alone has truly blessed me. No one quite knows what another might be going thru,
however God always knows who will be a blessing. That's what you've been to me! I am so thankful that you were so
easy to work with, and right from the start you were encouraging me and praying for our conference. Honestly I've not
worked with anyone like yourself."
~Michele Herrera, co-ordinator for 2008 Central Coast Home Education Conference, Santa Maria, CA
"Marcia Washburn was the featured speaker at our 2004 annual homeschool convention in Wyoming. As the state-wide
Christian support group in Wyoming, H.O.W. desires to bring speakers that will inspire, encourage, and inform
attendees in their vision for homeschooling. Marcia has had many years of practical hands on experience with
homeschooling five sons and serving in leadership for much of that time. More so, Marcia, with her warm and
personable presentations seemed to reach and touch the hearts of homeschooling moms. Marcia made herself easily
available to answers questions and offer encouragement to anyone who approached her. We would highly recommend
Marcia as a speaker."
Sincerely, Ron and Debby Becker, Wyoming State Conference Co-Chairs
