It was an absolute pleasure to work with Ida at the International Bar Association conference in Buenos Aires this year. As session Chair, she created a relaxed atmosphere in which all the participants were excited to participate in the activities we had planned for them. In her own presentation she imparted a wealth of information and ideas about setting up and developing training programs in law firms, based on her own extensive experience. I highly recommend Ida as a conference speaker.
