Business & Charity Events


Professional events carry the extra weight of reflecting on not only you, but the entire company you represent. It is imperative that these events run smoothly and allow you to achieve your goals while keeping your guests happy and engaged. 

Whether you and your team need to network, fundraise, attend to VIP's, or promote your message, your attention needs to be on your mission...not on the minutia of the event.

"During my years as Executive Service Director, I asked Susan to assist with many events including our Bi-Annual Conferences and our prestigious client appreciation wine tastings.  She consistently represented Calyon in the most professional manner and helped me to make these occasions very successful."
