FamilyAlthough I was born in the Midwest, I have lived most of my live in Florida. All my children were born in Florida.
I have 4 grown children (2 boys, 2 girls), 5 grandchildren. My oldest daughter, husband, and their 2 children live in Plano, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. My other children and grandchildren live in Central Florida. My children are wonderful, happy, well-adjusted adults and I consider them my greatest accomplishment.
EducationA.A. degree from University of Florida
B.S. degree in Business from University of Central Florida.

GoalsI've had my association and meeting management company for almost 11 years and will continue that work for another 5 years but am focusing more now on consulting work for associations and chambers of commerce.
One major goal is to spend more time with my grandchildren. Another is to write a book for association and chamber executives using my 30+ years of experience in the profession. Another goal is to travel more.
People I'd like to meetI'd love to meet other people with similar interests and goals. My friends tend to be younger but I get along with, and enjoy all ages. I am definitely a "people" person.
