Jenny is an amazing person and a boon to the Phoenix area. Her vision for CO+HOOTS has inspired and motivated many people (me included :) to do more and be more. She has a very strong desire to see Phoenix prosper and grow. I also worked with Jenny to bring the first Startup Weekend to downtown Phoenix and hosted it at CO+HOOTS. She worked with the organizers to iron out the details, make sure the space was ready and even stayed to participate in the weekend by sharing her design skills with the startup teams. I've hosted, or co-hosted, many events at CO+HOOTS and each has been enthusiastically supported by Jenny.
