Feedback on Auden's talks:
 
“Auden’s presentation to our group of nearly 100  senior local and state government officials was absolutely perfect: equal parts empathy, education, and inspiration  – with just the right dash of comic relief.  His reflections, grounded in real-world experience and delivered with a sense of both urgency and humor, resonates with other people who are toiling in the trenches of sustainable development in a unique and powerful way.”  
 
--Steve Nicholas, Vice-President of Climate & Environmental Programs, Institute for Sustainable Communities

"The first night brought forth Aspen Skiing  Company's remarkable Auden Schendler, who advises the ski corp on greenness and goodness and keeping it all in perspective. He narrated his PowerPoint extemporaneously for half an hour, to a standing ovation."
