STAFF SPOTLIGHT: DAWN LYONS & THERESA LAMKIN

February 4, 2022


How well do you know our team? Sure, you know that our planners put together award-winning events and our specialty departments can wrangle 2,000 attendees and outfit them with name badges, itineraries, and a million answers to a million questions – but what else do you know about them? Do you know how they got started in this industry? Or that Dawn Lyons started out in fashion? Or that Theresa Lamkin can play the harp!?

Every month, we sit down with a member of our team for a Staff Spotlight and have a conversation with them about their careers, their passions, and all things events. Those Staff Spotlight interviews are then published in The Column, along with trends reports, state of events updates, monthly menus, surveys, and more. For the first two months of 2022, we interviewed Dawn Lyons, one of our Directors of Client Services, and Theresa Lamkin, our Director of Registration & Technology. You can read those interviews below in image form, or you can check out the read-ready versions in the most recent issue of The Column.

Enjoy!
