Bio
Carla de Chassy
Bri served as ourConference Intern for the 2016 SEEP Annual Conference, "Expanding Market Frontiers," a 3-day international event convening 400+ global economic development practitioners. With very limited experience in organizing such a large event, Bri jumped right in to handle the relationship with the hotel for meeting our room block, as well as juggling multiple vendor quotes and agreements, and coordinating an important side meeting for one of our largest partners. Bri also managed our volunteer cadre of 30, leading up to the Conference and on site. She handled a demanding and complex workload and stress with grace, professionalism and a very positive attitude, interacting well with people of diverse backgrounds and hierarchical levels. In addition. Bri has a very mature writing voice and also translated our bi-monthly newsletters into Spanish. She quickly became an essential member of the Conference team, appreciated by all who work with her. I wholeheartedly recommend Bri Fierro and am happy to serve as a reference.
