Denise did an outstanding job of leading the coordination efforts for the ball memento, even despite a 50% budget cut for mementos from the previous year.

on site. From initial concept through final production she fully communicated with all committee members to include soliciting ideas, taking action, providing status updates and on-time delivery. The design greatly exceeded the expectations of the committee and
