“Caitrin was professional, adaptable and charismatic. It was evident she did her research and took the time to formulate questions that would facilitate an informative, engaging and entertaining conversation. Her professional training and experience as a live television reporter and anchor shone through with her level of comfort, confidence, and ability to read the room. This allowed for a natural flow of conversation that had both serious and light moments. Her strong communication skills helped distill and focus the conversation, while her authenticity and approachability set the tone and put myself and the audience at ease.”

"I had the pleasure of co-chairing the Huskie Athletics Women of Influence fundraising breakfast where Caitrin Hodson served as the emcee, and I must say, she truly brought the event to life. Caitrin's professionalism, charisma, and knack for storytelling made the morning not only enjoyable but also incredibly impactful.
As a professional journalist, Caitrin's expertise was evident in the way she engaged the audience with her eloquence and thoughtful questions. She seamlessly guided the program, keeping us all informed and entertained throughout. Her ability to connect with the speakers and the audience was remarkable, creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere.
Caitrin's passion for empowering women in sports shone through her words, inspiring us all to support the cause. Her dedication to highlighting the stories of these influential women was evident, and it left a lasting impression on everyone in the room.
I would highly recommend Caitrin Hodson as an emcee for any event. Her talent, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm make her a standout host, and I look forward to attending more events where she is at the helm."

“Caitrin, as the emcee for CHEP’s Seedy Saturday event in March 2024, was able to bring both energy and calmness to the day. The ability to think on her feet helped bring a bit of order to the day in a bustling venue and helped smooth out any wrinkles that came to be. Her genuine interest in those she engaged with allowed vendors to feel at ease and speak about their operations as if they were at a kitchen table having tea. I would highly recommend Caitrin to anyone who is looking for support for a community event. She is professional and down to earth.”

“I had the opportunity to work with Caitrin when she moderated the keynote fireside chat the 26th Annual Raj Manek Memorial Banquet with about 250 guests in attendance. Caitrin did a phenomenal and extremely professional job as a moderator, keeping thing on track and engaging the audience in conversation. She raised the bar to make the fireside chat both informative and entertaining. Thanks to Caitrin’s work, we received a great deal of positive feedback about how much people got out of the discussion with our keynote. I look forward to working with Caitrin on future events.”
