Testimonials
In Spring 2015, we had the pleasure of having Iris as our guest speaker on the Wellesley campus. This was by far our best attended lecture, and the feedback was incredible. Iris hits upon all points relevant to women of all ages – motherhood, work-family balance, building a successful marriage and making time for self-discovery. She is intelligent, powerful, passionate and hilarious. Our members were laughing, crying and wanting more!"

Last Sunday, Iris Krasnow lit up the stage of Seattle's 'Connections' – our largest annual gathering of Jewish women in the Northwest. Iris' personal stories and reflections were clever, witty and poignant. She was entertaining, yet focused our attention on Federation and the importance of giving back to the community.”

Last Thursday, at our annual Spring Luncheon, Iris Krasnow was our speaker and as expected, what a hit!! Our audience of over 400 loved her! She was funny, moving, entertaining and a pleasure to work with. Our diverse audience of women – young, not-so-young, professionals, stay-at-home moms, etc. – were laughing and crying and hanging on her every word!”

Our "It Takes A Woman" event recently took place at the Four Seasons Westlake Village. With almost 400 in attendance, Iris Krasnow rocked the house with anecdotal stories of her life experiences, relationships, and Jewish influences. The women adored her. She had us laughing and crying all at the same time! Not one person stirred in the middle of her address (very rare for us) and the crowd even gave her a standing ovation. In planning the event, Iris was very flexible and easy to work with. She was easily the best speaker we have had in the last five years. I absolutely recommend Iris for any women's audience!

Iris Krasnow was our featured speaker for Voices, our major event. Words cannot convey how wonderful Iris was. We had 600 women in attendance and she connected with every woman in the room, regardless of age. She had us laughing and crying. Every woman I spoke with after our luncheon not only said she was the best speaker we ever had, they said she was the best speaker they have ever heard.”
