What an incredible way to round out the year as a Chapter! We spent yesterday at Give Kids The World Village hearing from Pamela Landwirth about all the inspiring work this organization does, followed by networking practices and professional development tips from Lauren Nelson, MNM, CFRE, and a wellness and safety with Bruce McIndoe, Lauren Singer, William Fricke, and Geoff Scheibel. We finished the day with a tour of the village, and had the chance to decorate Christmas trees for the families. Our chapter has cultivated such a great network of business travel professionals this year, and we can’t wait for an even more incredible 2025!
