"There is an energy of efficiency that Gio has that is unique and advantageous to colleagues and clients alike. I had the pleasure of working with Gio on efforts to provide resources to interpreters and to build the ATA Interpreters Division. I also was involved with her efforts to do the same for interpreters and translators throughout the state of Florida. She runs on dedication to the profession as an energy fuel. She is wise about how we work and what we need to improve our services. Those of us in the profession are lucky to work alongside her and her clients are lucky to be on the receiving end of her skills." September 15,2009

"I have worked closely with Giovanna Lester on a variety of projects. I served as Administrative Assistant for the ATA Interpreters Division when Giovanna was Director. When Giovanna takes on a project, she commits to it fully and always completes her tasks on time and with the highest quality standards. She is an effective leader who knows how to cultivate leadership qualities in others. Gio generously shares her professional network and contacts with colleagues. Most of all, I admire her intelligence and sharp analytical skills. I recommend Gio as a highly professional and skilled person, who has much to offer any project she is working on." May 4, 2009

"Working with Gio is always a pleasure. She is focused and detail-oriented in addition to being a very talented and experienced professional. She was instrumental in developing and growing the Interpreters' Division of the American Translators' Association (ATA), during a period in which interpreters needed to get a higher profile. Her commitment to social issues is also invaluable, as I learned through her work with the Red Cross during Hurricane Katrina. I recommend her wholeheartedly." May 19, 2008
