Okay, let’s tackle this. So Maurice has 16 years of experience in event planning, which is a solid foundation. However, his role at Peachtree Travel is more focused on travel planning rather than traditional events. Considering his skills in public speaking, social media, and fundraising, he could potentially charge higher rates for consulting or coaching services. But for an event professional with his experience, I'd estimate a lower rate, around $75 per hour, which is on the higher end for this type of role. Some event planners with similar experience might charge $50-$100 per hour, so I'm being generous here.
