"Cora met with our organization to share her wealth of knowledge on government, policymaking, and advocacy. She is a uniquely talented, insightful, and confident public speaker with a keen attention to detail. Her skill as an orator made our time together an invaluable learning experience.
Through our Q&A, Cora drew on her personal experiences in a way that was especially salient to our organization’s needs and interests. Furthermore, Cora’s candor and sense of humor made each audience member feel simultaneously engaged and at ease.
I highly recommend Cora’s services, whether in-person or in a virtual format. We are happy to have hosted Cora and are grateful for her time and expertise." - DN
"Whenever I need an expert speaker to motivate or inspire my 8000 volunteers, I call Cora. Whenever I need an expert on social issues or a political professional to train my 8000 volunteers on impactful legislative visits, I call Cora. She is our most requested speaker year after year. If I could bottle the charisma, insight, and expertise, I would. Her wisdom and knowledge of both the impact of and use of systems- government, educational, and political is both vast and deep. I can’t wait to have her back for the next NYSPAC conference."

"My team and I had the privilege of having Cora be the keynote speaker at our Youth Summit event for 11th and 12th graders. Cora did an excellent job at incorporating our theme into her interactive presentation.
One of the most impressive moments of her talk was at the beginning when she shared her energy in the most personal and powerful way I have ever seen: by addressing each kid individually with their name and welcoming them to the event and her talk.
Another great aspect of Cora’s presentation was the way she maintained a connection with the entire group throughout the duration of the time. Any speaker can attest to the challenge that is. Cora did it wonderfully and with grace."

"Cora is this unassuming person; one is captivated by her every word, excited to hear her speak, as she displays the many layers of her knowledge. She is truly a fantastic woman who speaks from her soul. She is the Oprah of Schenectady. People are drawn to her, and we listen! I had the honor to speak one-on-one with her, which felt like talking to a very good friend. Cora listened to me and gave me excellent advice. If you ever hear that Cora is speaking in your area run and sign up, she is truly worth her weight in gold."

"I have worked with Cora Schroeter on two film projects, “Be Alright” and “Journey To Freedom.”
In “Be Alright” a two part series I produced. This public access series featured profiles and interviews of two local region residents who had volunteered for the Great March in Detroit in 1963 and The March on Washington in 1963. Ms. Schecter did an excellent job as narrator, informing the audience about the
significance of these events.
During the summer of 2023, Ms. Schroeter was an interviewer for the film project “Journey to Freedom”. This 13-part series, which I co-produced, chronicles the stories of 14 Capitol region veterans who worked in the civil rights movement of the sixties.
Ms. Schroeter interviewed two of these civil rights veterans, and the films are now archived in the Siena College library.
In conclusion, working with Ms. Schroeter is an eloquent communicator. She has brought her natural speaking skills to help make both projects successful."
