" We could not have had a better person than Jeff to lead the workshops with interns and parents, and to be the featured entertainer at our Start on Success 10th Anniversary dinner celebration at the Library of Congress, (on April 15, 2004). He was magnificent - and inspirational. "

Jeff has provided keynote addresses, training seminars, and motivational workshops in 44 states and numerous national and international conferences. Jeff combines powerful style and content, original music and humor, and deep subject knowledge in a variety of areas pertinent to: education, diversity and disability, the dignity of all human beings, and other topics ranging from building inclusive schools and communities to the ADA, 504, and IDEA. He currently serves as adjunct faculty for Kent State University and has taught and guest lectured in numerous universities and colleges since 1975.

"Jeff Moyer was truly a blessing at the 1997 South Plains Association for the Education of Young Children.

Conference on Children, on April 26, 1997. Jeff quickly became a friend and guide as he led us down the pathway of inclusion. He deeply touched the minds and hearts of the participants. In fact, a senior at Texas Tech University used Jeff’s We’re People First as her final exam. She shared his message with her entire class - including the sing-along and hand clapping. Jeff was only in Lubbock, Texas for a few short days, but his message will go on and on."

Jeff is often asked to provide a motivational keynote address for a conference and then concurrent session workshops on topic areas of his innovative resource materials. In addition, his skill as a concert musician has provided many long-remembered musical evenings which have brought conferee’s together through community singing and listening to Jeff’s songs which celebrate our common humanity and reflect on the universal experiences shared in his vivid story songs.

Jeff Moyer’s work is about the practical application of his ideas and positive approach to breaking down the barriers of prejudice, segregation, and exclusion.
