The National Pharmaceutical Association was very elated to have May Palmer perform at two events for us during our convention in July at the Renaissance Seattle Hotel. From the beginning of our communication to her performance, she was very professional. Her performance entertained the exhibitors and attendees during our President’s corporate exhibit and poster presentation on July 24, 2010.
May also performed at our Forrest Meyer’s Hospitality suite on July 25, 2010. May represents who she is “The Queen of Ivory Soul”. May’s soulful concert is beyond a doubt outstanding. She is very interactive with the crowd and a pleasure to watch perform. She is very engaging. Everyone just LOVED HER. You will smile, sing and dance along with her because you can’t resist her energetic performance. The students didn’t want her to stop. I received so many comments (compliments) for her to continue singing following her show. May was very accommodating. If you are looking for a talented, mesmerizing performer, I would recommend May Palmer.
Sincerely, Sharon Early, Pharm.D., President National Pharmaceutical Association
