Speaker:
A former software developer, marketing manager, and sales manager, Bob
Bailey has the knowledge and experience to help high-tech business executives
reach their goals by delivering polished, focused, powerful presentations.

He began presenting and coaching in 1978, after founding Washington Whitewater. He has been active in Toastmasters and in the National Capital Speakers Association (NCSA), and is a member of the National Speakers Association (NSA).
