Dear Vince,
On behalf of the Association of Marina Industries (AMI), I would like to thank you for speaking at the 2011 International Marina & Boatyard Conference (IMBC) in Fort Lauderdale, FL. I understand the time and hard work that went into creating your presentation, The Recession Isn’t Always about the Bottom Line, and appreciate your efforts.
I am delighted with the success of this year’s conference. Our final counts put the number of participants over 830 and 125 exhibitors. These numbers exceeded our registration numbers from 2010 and as a result, the conference was one of AMI’s best showings in its history. Your contribution to the conference and participation as a speaker were vital to its success.
As a speaker and experienced professional in the marina industry, I value your thoughts and opinions and would appreciate hearing from you if you have any suggestions on how we can improve future conferences. Please also feel free to let us know if you have ideas on future seminar topics that are important or of interest to marina professionals. This information can be sent to imbc@marinaassociation.org orI can be reached at (401) 682-7334.
Thank you again for presenting at the conference. I look forward to seeing you at future conferences.
Best,
Rachel LaMarre

As my blog, "Everything's Connected" indicates, I embrace 100%, the premise that we are all connected. Though the uniformly accepted premise is that there are 6 degrees of separation, my premise is that in Houston, there are only 3 degrees of separation.
I had the most fortunate privilege of discovering a very "insightful" Houston entrepreneur who has converted his lack of sight (he's been blind since birth) to inspire us all to harness the unimagined. Vince Morvillo is a highly successful business consultant and entrepreneur. With no outside financial support, Vince personally built one of the largest sales organizations on the Gulf Coast, taking it to profitibility in just two years.
He has achieved the unimaginable, becoming the first blind person in history to win a national yachting championship.
Vince has replaced lack of sight with incredible vision. I hope that we can all learn to use all of our senses to achieve our ultimate potential.

Dear Vince,
This letter is a formal "Thank You" for the outstanding job you did as a Dinner Speaker with our 25 clients at The Hotel Icon recently.
We have organized over 30 Client Roundtables for Corporate Officers and Outside Directors of multinational energy and chemical companies during the past ten years. Yours was the best
the dinner speeches preceding any of these Roundtables.
Given the responses of our guests, my only regret is not allocating more time for your comments and Q&A! Clearly the group would have enjoying hearing more about your exploits.
During these challenging economic times, all organizations must employ the 'Out of the box" thinking that you describe. I particularly enjoyed your story of your newest sales person who generated leads (as well as sales) by being at the dealership on Sundays and evenings when you were officially "Closed".
Having known you for over 12 years, I am not surprised by your approaches as well as your successes.
Thanks again,
FOR PILKO & ASSOCIATES, LP

Mr. Vince Morvillo:
On behalf of the Leads Board of Directors, Leads clients, sponsors and staff, we would like to thank you for making our 20th anniversary celebration such an unforgettable event.
Since 1986, Leads has provided support to over 9,500 people with disabilities in search of employment and secured over 11,400 paid positions with an 80% retention rate. Leads has always been on the cutting edge of service delivery for people with disabilities in the human resources industry, and we lead by being diligent and innovative to our cause.
Often we forget to look back at what we have achieved and take time to celebrate our success. Your presentation has given us that moment, a moment where we were “re-charged” and reflected with pride of our accomplishment and the importance of our mission.
I would like to pass along some of the comments from the attendees:

Dear Vince:
Thank you for your truly inspiring presentation to the participants during the "Carolyn Garrett Legislative Leadership Conference. Your story regarding your mother's empowering attitude certainly allowed the students to see how they too can achieve their dream goals. As one participant, stated in his evaluation, "everything was valuable" to him in your presentation.
I hope that we will be able to coordinate future activities with you, as you are really a wonderful mentor for the consumers. Thank you again for your contribution, and we will contact you about the possibility of a tour of your business.

Vince,
Thank you very much for your generous support of our trip to the Special Olympics World Games in Shanghai. It was a truly memorable experience, and we were proud to represent Texas and Team USA.
Thanks and regards,
Kendrick Lawrence and Steve Comen
Gold Medalists, Sailing, 2007 Special Olympic World Games
Dear Vince,
Thank you for coming to Nashville as to speak to the Special Olympics Team USA Sailing Team, who will represent the USA in Shanghai this fall. Your message was inspiring. The point of view you bring is just the message this group of athletes need to hear. You are a great supporter of Special Olympics.
This is the second time that you have volunteered to speak to Special Olympics groups. Our local sailing team also got your moving and positive message. Thanks for your continuing support for the Space Center Rockets Special Olympics Delegation, the Rockets Sailing Team, and Team USA.
I am sure your message will continue to aid the challenged to overcome those challenges.
Sincerely,
Jack Yoes
Head Coach Sailing – Special Olympics Team USA 2007
Vince:
It was my distinct pleasure meeting you at the woodworking show in Houston this past weekend. My name is Ron Brown and I'm the fellow you purchased the four piece router bit set from. I work with Woodline USA and with Wayne Sutter.
You gave me your website which I just visited. I could tell you were very special as we talked and what I learned about you on your website confirms what I already suspected. If you ever write a book, I would love to purchase it.
Although not disabled myself, I got a rather shaky start in life and went on to accomplish much more than most would have thought possible also. Let me quickly add, that I have not accomplished nearly as much as you have. I draw inspiration from individuals such as yourself and I count it a privilege to have met you. I hope our paths will cross again one day.
Sincerely,
Ron Brown
Dear Mr. Morvillo,
We want to take this opportunity to thank you for being part of the "Ability First" conference in London, Ontario. We're still getting great response from people who attended and heard your presentation, and we're even hearing from people who didn't attend, but wish they had!
