Very Well Done Events

Service with a positive attitude is my top priority.  Please consider me for any of your programs that require assistance in planning - either on the front end (handling site selections, contract negotiations with hotels or other vendors) or as on-site coordinators for all or a portion of your program(s).  I am a motivated and enthusiastic team player, with great ability to be flexible and to multi-task.  I would be most pleased to work either independently or as part of a team.
