MARY WINDHAM: EVENT MANAGER - ENTREPRENEUR - ADVENTURER

As a Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) with multiple degrees in Event Management, I know a thing or two about event planning. As a female entrepreneur, I also know a thing or two about creating your own path, making mistakes, and growing a successful business. 

 

My passion for event management and business savvy have developed over decades into a wealth of knowledge, industry connections, and superior client relations - and I want to share them with you! So let’s get to planning!
