Bio
Andy Herrmann
I have worked with Amanda on the successful reinvention of the ASCE Annual Convention which is now in its third year. She not only has the ability to envision and keep the big picture in mind for a convention / conference but also to know the details required to successfully plan and operate the event.
Rosie Young, Ed.D.
I had the opportunity to work with Amanda through the National Association of Elementary School Principals. I served on the board for a number of years and got to know Amanda quite well. Amanda worked on the annual convention and a number of other activities, very involved in setting up logistics, planning, and communicating. She was excellent! Amanda is well-organized, detailed-oriented, and follows through. Events were always well-planned and information was always shared and thorough. In addition, she is an effective team member and works well with others. She is passionate about her work and dedicated to the organization she serves. In the end, Amanda will do outstanding work and help your association be successful.
