"It is without hesitation that I call these men friends as well as role models for our youth who I’ve known to have an extremely unparalleled work ethic and upstanding character. I have watched their initiative flourish from a local push to a much larger and organized movement, offering valuable advice based on their life lessons, meeting their audience at their level, and I’ve witnessed young men take to heart their words and plan on how they can apply their guidance, to their lives and become better young men."

“I have had many opportunities to see The Board of Directors in action, and they are AMAZING! They present their message with power, with authority, with passion, and they’re just absolutely amazing when they stand before an audience. They command attention. What’s most important about The Board of Directors and their book is that they’re not selfish. They are reaching out to help other young men.”

“The Board of Directors are all committed and dedicated men that have a sincere devotion to helping improve the lives of young men through literacy and mentorship. They always demonstrate superior rapport with students and district/school/community personnel. Just as important, they are reliable and “walk the walk” of their organization’s mission and vision. They have always been the organization that are first to arrive and last to leave, ensuring that they are available to assist in any fashion that is beneficial to students and the school-community."

"Our male students thoroughly enjoyed hearing the speakers, and they continued to talk about them and their message long after the actual speech. It is evident that Mr. Holoman and Mr. Droze are talented and driven men. They have a passion for reaching and guiding young people. I would recommend them speaking and working with young people of all racial and economic backgrounds."

“The Board of Directors are a good investment for any program, because they represent well! They proved to be dependable, articulate, personable and worth the cost. I highly recommend the Board of Directors, because of their innovative approach to encouraging young men to be the best man they can be by using vision and responsibility through servant-hood and proper etiquette on the job, in the home and in the community.”

"They have a way of simplifying some of the complexities of relationships so that the listener can more easily understand what helps relationships as well as what hurts relationships. In the process, they inspire everyone to make the changes that will add beauty to the relationship whether we’re discussing husband/wife, parent/child, or work relations. As you listen, it quickly becomes obvious that these 3 men spend time not only reading, but thinking about life and how it should work. Their passion and sincerity shines through every conversation we have and I truly count it an honor to be involved with this team of men who believe in adding to society. "

"I have been so impressed with these men’s demeanor, their compassion, and their candor. My hope is that their book and curriculum will reach – and make a difference in – many, many other young men’s lives."

"These vibrant young men have a plethora of knowledge and wisdom that they can impart upon our youth."
