Jackie Ohh... FINALIST for the 2009 Event Planner of the Year Award!


I am soooooooo EXCITED to be blogging the latest news! About an hour ago I found out that I am a finalist for Event Planner of the Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to VEGAS!!!!!!!
A couple of months back I was notified that my peers had nominated me for the 2009 Event-Solutions Event Planner of the Year Award. I was overwhelmed with excitement (which is not even close to how excited I am right now!). I had to submit a couple of essays, biography, pictures, and letters of recommendations etc. in order to fulfill the submission process for judging; it took me about 2 months to complete, but it was all worth it! I just found out that the judges chose me as one of the finalists for this prestigious award! Public online voting begins mid November and we go to Vegas in February to the Event-Solutions Conference. The awards gala is on the last night and we'll find out the winners there!
To all of the vendors who nominated me and all of those who support me, thank you so much. I am so blessed to have an enormous group of vendors that I am associated with. You ALL mean the world to me. The last couple of months have been so amazing. You ALL have supported me so much; I truly apprecaite it and always remember everything you have done for me.
To my family and friends- Who have to deal with me day in and day out, which I know is difficult with the nature of my business. From the time I wanted to become a planner (and everyone thought I was crazy) to where I am today, you have ALL stood by me in the best and worst times. I can never thank you enough.
Mom and Dad- you are my heroes and my role models. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you and your love and support. Thank you. AND To my husband, you are a true angel. I don't know how you put up with the craziness of my work. I love you so much for that and much more. You are amazing, my backbone and my strength.
ALL of YOU make ME a better planner and a better person. This award is not for me, it's for ALL of us!
