And I am forever thankful.” – Rev. Irene Monroe, Pacific School of Religion, Huffington Post blogger, and syndicated religion columnist

“Auburn Media has been very successful in enabling religious communities to effectively convey their message through the media. Auburn’s uniqueness lies in its understanding the power of media and how religious leaders should frame their messages for the general public.” – Daisy Khan, American Society for Muslim Advancement

“I learned concrete skills that were relevant; I got to learn the theory and then practice it; the session was grounded explicitly in Jewish values and language; the training team was dynamic and engaging; I came away inspired and eager to try new ways of communicating with the world. Really, this was an incredible opportunity and I am deeply grateful to have been included”. – Rabbi Lisa Goldstein, Executive Director of Hillel of San Diego

"I am very, very grateful for the Auburn Media Training I received, which enabled me to both hone my media skills and think creatively about how media must be a part of any strategy around ethics, spirituality, technology and ecological concerns with corporations." - Sister Pat Daly, Executive Director, Tri-State Coalition for Responsible Investment
