“What I truly appreciate about the Coalition and what makes it different is the tireless effort to get people together who would normally not be allied. Because of your alignment with the river, it allows you an audience and respect from groups we normally aren’t associated with. It has been a fun adventure for me personally, because we have a lot more in common than most of us would have thought. You also go out of your way to at least get us all in the same room and have the conversations.”
