"An insightful and articulate leader"
Since 2001, I have known Eleanor to be an insightful and articulate leader and practitioner with a plethora of knowledge and skills that she applies in diverse academic, community, and organizational settings. Her seminal work with us as editor of our Women’s Health Leadership (WHL) program e-newsletter, which required both technical as well as subject matter expertise, allowed us to better connect with our diverse constituency and helped us become a more effective resource.

About Eleanor's book, MILE 9This is a little book with a powerful message of hope, courage, and daring. Ms. Brownn inspires us, as just when her spirits were the lowest, she found the courage to leave behind her limited belief of what she could and could not do. She dared to come out of hiding and shine her Light. Her story is one of hope and encouragement for all of us who find ourselves at a crossroads, ready to change. Eleanor Brownn has shared her own story, simply and elegantly told, a wonderful gift for everyone we cherish.

"Sense of determination"I did a marathon once and it took me over 10 hours to walk it in the heat, so I really connected with the sense of determination in MILE 9. The book was funny, touching and so inspirational.
