iring the Earth Day Marin 2010 event brought an unexpected reward in the opportunity to work closely with Hannah Doress. Hannah is an energetic and uniquely collaborative leader, bringing fresh perspectives and creative thinking to anything she touches while providing tangible support to every member of the team. She generates her own kind of power from within, and amazed me every day with the magic she pulled out of her hat. Any organization that's smart enough to sign on with Hannah Doress Events will never again be satisfied to work with ordinary mortals."Susan Bierzychudek, Principal at Green Ideals Branding and Marketing & Chair, Earth Day Marin Advisory Committee
"I was totally bowled over by the success of Earth Day Marin on so many levels. It was intergenerational, fun, packed with interesting folks, full of variety and extremely well organized. On top of that, Hannah Doress Productions was easy to work with and greeted us warmly when we arrived to set up our display booth. Having attended hundreds of events around the Bay Area the past 20 years, I can say this was one of my favorite all-time experiences. Thank you Hannah Doress."Annan Paterson
"Congratulations for your brilliant work in organizing such a wonderful festival (Earth Day Marin). We were honored to be a part of it."

"(Hannah) has a core work ethic and sense of community, which is matched by her creative strategies in promoting and sp
reading an awareness about special events. She is able to enlighten a potential audience to the unique qualities of each event she puts her heart into. The very reputation of the event will be enhanced by her participation. ... Our event (The Storyland Festival) was on a very hot day, which happened to be in direct competition with another local event targeting the same age group. There is no question in my mind that the 500+ people who attended and enjoyed our event were a direct result of Hannah's passionate efforts."
"Hannah Doress is both a visionary and a workhorse!" Morgan Hall, co-President, Fairfax Chamber of Commerce
