"Nicky is a natural leader and outstanding instructor who always goes above and beyond the call of duty. A 20-year review of disasters showed 90% of disasters are weather-related. I believe through iDARE Nicky's goal is that we as a people survive and are prepared in case of a natural disaster. I have had occassions to work alongside Nicky, who organized training events for women and I am familiar with these events Nicky organized. She will not rest until the message of being prepared is heard by all ! I would not hesitate to follow Nicky's lead as she is a great example of a "Top Drawer" leader."
