What a year it’s been! 2008 has proven to be an incredible year for us and now it’s coming to a close. As we move forward into 2009, we’re grateful for so many things – especially our truly good friends and newly wed friends! We’ll cherish the memories and mementos of magnificent projects, special days and great accomplishments that were part of 2008 and greet the New Year with excitement for what is yet to come.

It seems appropriate at this time to offer our most sincere THANKS to everyone who has referred, recommended, utilized or reserved our services (YOU!!). We are so grateful for your business, support and friendship! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to share my insights and experiences with students at the Rosen College. I was in good company because other members of the panel included ISES Orlando Chapter President Christine Logan (T. Skorman Productions) and fellow ISES Board member Byron Loper (Ice Magic). Laura Ball (Orlando Marriott Downtown) was on hand to represent NACE and I was delighted to represent ABC and ISES. Dr. Mary Jo Ross, CSEP CPCE had invited us to speak to the students about our multifaceted careers in the special event industry (which I always enjoy!). Also worth mentioning is the fact that rising stars Laura Ball and Byron Loper are RCHM Alumni and former students of Dr. Ross.

It was very exciting to be able to share valuable information (pointers) with the students regarding networking with other industry professionals, as well as tips for getting noticed by prospective employers, gaining experience and building their resumes. They are so lucky to have these types of educational opportunities!
