I recently had the honor of mentoring Event/Hospitality students looking to break into this amazing industry. When that program ended, getting involved with the Allie Awards was a natural next step for my need to continue giving back to an industry that has given so much to me over the last 30+ years. Serving as VP of Finance, I have seen firsthand the fruits of our collective labor through our long standing partnership with Georgia State University, School of Hospitality.
