I trust, admire, and respect Kat Walsh. She takes the time to go on 
trips with Brad to close opportunities and she is level headed. Had I 
been allowed to vote, it would have been for her as my first choice 
(which I have stated before). She has a strong personality and radiates 
a sense of balance, strength without pushiness, and forcefulness with 
ease at getting to the bottom of complex issues. I have been immensely 
impressed with her.
