1. Founder

   Clear Path Events, Inc

   Jan 2016 — Present · Overland Park, KS, US

   I started Clear Path Events because I have a gift for combining the strategic elements of planning business meetings with the logistics of execution. Most planners don\'t posses the strategy component which is what is absolutely necessary to achieve the return on investment that you should expect for your events. With 20+ years of experience planning GM conferences, franchise conventions, incentive trips and officer retreats for Applebee\'s International as well as professional development and networking events for a non-profit organization, I am an experienced resource. I\'ve handled events from 10 - people and I love a good challenge. My colleagues will say that I am a results oriented leader and project manager with proven history of driving efficiency and cost savings while maintaining the highest standards of service. My business and financial acumen skills make me a valuable event planning partner; I have successfully managed projects from $5K to $50M while simultaneously improving results.
