Eddie Slowikowski

Theodore A. Tarkow, Associate Dean, University of Missouri-Columbia

“Eddie's style and content make him an ideal program for this type of audience. They are quick to appreciate his humor, are pleased that he does not talk down to them, and in fact encourage them to bring their own creativity to the creativity that is part of his presentation. We recommend Eddie for an audience of bright and talented students with the greatest amount of confidence.”

Bob Dre, Dr. Robert Dyer, Assistant Superintendent Moline School District No. 40

“I have no doubt that Eddie Slowikowski can successfully address any group on any topic. Our evaluations came back at almost 100% approval of Eddie and his message. Who wouldn't want to sponsor an event that would get that level of approval? Moline will bring him back again!”

Courtney Leaver, Nebraska FBLA State Vice President

“Eddie kept all of the members participating with your unique styles of dancing and the listening demonstrations, for that I thank you. It is always rewarding to see our FBLA members gaining new leadership skills and enjoying it at the same time.”
