“ I have had the pleasure of conducting several HUD “Partners in Housing” training sessions with Gates. From the very first day, she engaged the training participants and quickly demonstrated not only her expertise on the subject at hand but a natural ability to convey complex information using real-life examples or written directives that simply put, can be difficult to understand. Gates also possesses an excellent ability to adapt the materials or her presentation style to fit the needs of training participants as many of them often have different backgrounds. ”
