Bio
Ken Richards
I worked with Kathy at CUMIS where she was responsible for organizing many events including our annual sales conference. This was a conference that our sales team always looked forward to and a big reason for that was the result of Kathy's efforts to make the event a success. I attended eight of these events in various locations across the country and each one was perfectly organized. Kathy has terrific organizational skills and success at co-ordinating multiple tasks. Her attention to detail and the needs of each attendee are outstanding. I recommend Kathy for conference and event planning.

I had the pleasure of working with Kathy during my years with JPdL Destination Management in Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto & Niagara. Kathy was an exemplary client at all levels: a professional conference planner in all her communications and dealings with us, clear about her company's objectives and budget parameters, a stickler for details but generous with her praise for a job well done and a fantastic support in referring us to other clients - a true vendor / client relationship. Kathy is also very involved in the meetings industry through her dedication to FICP and other organizations. She is a loyal and dedicated individual who I would not hesitate to recommend both personally and professionally to any company fortunate enough to be considering hiring her.
