Bio
Bev Allen, MBA, GTP, DES
Lynne worked with me to find the perfect place for a very large conference that I was sourcing for my client with a very short lead time in 2017. She took the time to really listen to what was important to my client. She then offered suggestions that resonated with my client during the search process, and also throughout the planning process after Palm Springs area venues were selected. Lynne is very well connected in Palm Springs, and was a great local resource - my clients were impressed and considered her a part of our team. I believe Lynne's genuine customer focus and her collaboration skills, contributed to the success of the intense planning process for that conference and I look forward to having the opportunity to work with her again.
