“I have been acquainted with Valerie Morris for almost 20 years in various professional and business relationships. As a contractor for the Shelby County Division of Corrections, she owned and operated her own firm providing culinary arts instruction to inmates of the Correction Center. Her business acumen and professionalism were astounding as she took a failing program and turned it into a model institution. She provided excellent value and achieved tremendous results. My relationship with Ms. Morris continued as I moved into the Sheriff’s Office where she was active in the Shelby County political world while she took her enormous talents to the gaming industry and exhibited the expected professionalism in community and public relations. I observed her extraordinary performance while we both served on the Board of Directors for Memphis in May. Valerie has my unqualified highest recommendation for services as a consultant in PR/Communications, Strategic Planning and Special Events. I have never met a more energetic, professional individual.”
