V.P. of Operations

Meredith is the core of the operations at event-pros, she is the "go to" person that will get the job done. Her ability to multi-task while maintaining an attention to detail is second only to her strong work ethic. She has developed new ways to standardize procedures, create efficient methodologies, and maximize profitability for numerous companies. Meredith began her career with event-pros shortly after graduating from the University of Arizona with a degree in Business Marketing. Initially, hired as an Administrative Assistant she supported the executive staff while learning the trade show industry. However, her skills to develop and maintain relationships with the event-pros associates quickly earned her a position as Talent Director where she worked closely with our Regional Directors and nation-wide talent. But, Meredith's ambition did not stop there, her ability to identify and meet the needs of both clients and associates earned her another promotion this time to Director of Operations in 2005 and eventually landing in her current role as a Vice President.

Today, Meredith is an integral part of the event-pros team, her dedication and willingness to go the extra mile is immeasurable but the warmth she shares with each of us is without compare. Her outgoing personality adds the sparkle to our office, she exudes happiness. With Meredith around, there's no such thing as a bad day...she'll find a way to make you laugh; and laugh we do!
