"Dave’s impact on my life as a coach and mentor is constantly shifting my mind sets and expanding the leadership calling on my life. I’m continually amazed at the new doors opening as we together seek God’s purpose and the destiny I am created for.

Having known David for over thirty years prior to being elected as a Representative of the 40th State House District, working with David in the political realm was simply a no brainer for me.
I was honored to introduce David to my Colleagues and Department Heads such as Tennessee Commissioner of Tourism Kevin Triplett and Secretary of State Tree Hargett,
David networked well within the halls of State Government in Nashville. The results where the orchestration of two separate stellar events on the House floor with Tennessee State Representatives and Senators as well as over forty students from Israel and Franklin Tennessee.
These events known as Camp Franklin further helped our youth understand and respect differences of culture yet also cultivate friendships and alliances between our state and that of the Nation of Israel.
My hope is that we continue creating more possibilities of innovation as we forge forward, together.

With the uncanny ability to understand and articulate what is in the other's heart, as well as the wisdom and sensitivity to sharpen the other's thinking and to raise it up,
David would be the ideal partner in leadership visioning, focus, prayer, and development."
Rabbi Saul Strosberg
Congregation Sherith Israel, Nashville
"David and Peggy with their deep understanding of human nature, their wisdom and perception have greatly impacted the lives of so many, both in the USA and abroad.
Their "Joint Sister City Project" between Franklin, Tennessee, USA and Shaárey-Tikva, Israel has had an exceptionally profound and positive impact.
By educating and learning about one another, deep relationships and strong bonds have been established. The teenagers and their families, from the USA and Israel have been exposed to, and gained insight into the lives, outlooks and perspectives of another religion and way of life.
This has created a better understanding of Christianity and Judaism on a reciprocal basis, resulting in a ripple effect which has spread far wider than initially anticipated."
Mayor Daniel Singer
Mayor of Shaarey-Tikvah, Israel and Partner in Camp Franklin and Friendship Tour
Dave Fitzpatrick has had a lasting impact on my life. He has opened up unimaginable opportunities, pushed me to places I never thought I could go and created a unique space for my calling.
His strategic thinking and connectedness have helped me grow in my true identity as a leader.
Dave not only opened up a space for me to speak at the Tennessee State Capitol as a 16 year old, but also asked me to help lead a friendship tour to Israel.
He has challenged my thought process towards myself and the world, and I am forever grateful for the wisdom, generosity and impact Dave and the ICCA have truly had on me.
