Here are what a few of the judges who have participated during the past two decades had to say about the Children's Set A Good Example Campaign and School Contest Program:

"I have had the pleasure of associating with the Concerned Businessmen's Association of America since its start. When one looks at what recently happened in Colorado, you can understand why many more individuals and I appreciate all CBAA has done and is doing for the youth of this nation. Believe me, incidents like that in Colorado would never happen if teaching of The Way to Happiness were part of our teaching of students."

Rockwell International

"The Set A Good Example Contest reassures us that the values we hold highest are not being forgotten. Many people are still willing to invest their time and their hearts in our youth. It feels good to know that they care."

Dan Patton,
V.P. Saatchi & Saatchi DFS/Pacific

"Working in crime prevention can be exhausting and depressing, but having the opportunity to see the extraordinary projects reflecting such creativity, goodwill and compassion emanating from our school children gives me a freshly inspirational perspective and a feeling of optimism for the future."

Linda Kalaydjian, Public Affairs,
Inglewood, California Police Department

"This program continues to be a valuable 'tool' for today's youth and is shaping the posture of our society. However, there is more to do. We must all participate in contributing to the moral education of our youth, who are the future of our country. The increasing violence in our schools, on our televisions, on video and on the web is an incredible amount of negative programming. By sharing a common sense guide for better living, and by helping more schools and children participate in the Set A Good Example Contests, we can be a more positive influence on our future."

Chief Joe Tejeira,
Los Angeles Fire Department

"This program is perhaps the most positive and effective program in use today to help eliminate crime and violence from our schools as well as boost academic achievements and boost morale. I have personally reviewed the evidence and am very happy to see the many kids and families and schools that have benefited from the contests and specifically from The Way to Happiness book. With more schools and children involved, I see this program affecting this country in a positive way."
