“Sybil and I have known each other for a number of years, both back in the days when we both had tourism in our professional lives and now in very different professions. I have served on a board with her and have always considered her a wise mentor and confidant. She is extremely bright and creative and seems to think of thoughtful and engaging questions for whatever the topic. And besides, she has a wonderful sense of humor.”
