Undoubtedly, the 2008 Hair Ball is the best the Mater has staged so far. I was so impressed with your attention to detail, concern for the success of the event, and commitment to raising funds to help the “C” [cancer] sufferers in our community. You both did a magnificent job; the Mater greatly appreciates your efforts and looks forward to staging further events. Brian McGuigan, Chairman, CALVARY MATER NEWCASTLE, 2008

Kerry’s personal skills were the main reason the project was completed on time and within budget. It was a pleasure to work with Kerry on this program and her cheerful attitude to all concerned was a major reason for the project’s successful completion.

Many thanks to you and the team for a great evening! It felt like there was a proper hand behind the wheel and I have had a lot of feedback about what a great night it was. Many said it was the best awards night in years. Gillian Armstrong, Film Director – AUSTRALIAN DIRECTORS GUILD Awards Dinner, 2007

Kerry Herman has been Event Manager on several ADG events. For our events she has had to handle and co-ordinate the many excitable, famous, demanding guests and celebrities and their equally fussy demands, anxieties and delicate egos. Kerry manages all this with confidence, and her cheery disposition sets everyone immediately at ease - they know they're in competent hands. The most important upside of this is that people perform well, speak candidly, everyone enjoys themselves and leaves feeling they've had a great time. Ray Argall, President, AUSTRALIAN DIRECTORS GUILD, 2007
