Why I love what I do

I love building long-term relationships and becoming part of my client’s team. I love receiving notes like this one from a client who has been with me since 1995: “Another successful event! I’d hate to think that I take that for granted. We have set such a standard for our conferences, anything less than perfection just isn’t acceptable. And thankfully, you have the same philosophy.” And I love working with an amazing, talented team every day.
