In the late ’70s, after a move to DC, I began consulting to not-for-profit organizations and corporations, planning their meetings, conferences and conventions. Since then, I have had a staff and then moved back to a consultancy, using other contractors when needed.

My work has evolved from full-service meeting planning to consulting on contracts w/ hospitality industry vendors, helping design programs and program formats for meetings, conducting performance audits of meetings departments and helping organizations hire internal planners, and training others in meeting planning: basics, meeting risk management, negotiations and contracts, industry future issue.

In and outside the meetings industry, I train in ethics, meeting program planning and design, adult learning issues, and more. I’ve worked hard and have been honored by many hospitality/meetings industry organizations with some of the highest honors the industry gives. My passions and strengths are used every day.
