  “I first met Deena at a Go Red meeting. Her passion and drive was infectious. Her humility, commitment, encouragement and support are some of the traits that make her so special. I loved working with Deena on the one Go Red event and would have worked for many more had I remained in Philadelphia.Thank-you Deena for being a great leader, a woman role model and for having the drive you have!Go Red!”

• Yasmin Khan “I had the pleasure of working with Deena during my tenure at American Heart Association as VP of Development. Deena is passionate about her work and stepped up to essentially do the job of two people when her Director left the organization. Not only did she execute a flawless and tremendously successful event, she did it with a grace and commitment that demonstrated her outstanding character. ”
