PGA Diversity Workshop: A Participant's Perspective

Danielle StallingsGetting accepted into this year's PGA Diversity Workshop was thrilling in its own right.  The experience was magical from the moment I received the phone call that my project and I were selected.  I was walking on air for days afterward.  The idea of workshopping a project with other “emerging” producers aided by seasoned veterans certainly sounded like a golden opportunity.  (I use quotes because several of the 2010 mentees were already working producers.)   Little did I know the entire experience would exceed my highest expectations.
