"I am always amazed at the stellar quality of the people who attend Cathy’s events — both on stage and in the audience. I always kick myself when I arrive, because I missed a few minutes of pre-game networking and I end up staying later than I expect to soak up every last drop of conversation around me. One can always count on Cathy’s programs to be exquisitely crafted, intellectual netsuke."
