Following a similar write-in vote style, Natalie joined our S.O.A.R team when Jenn and Jess placed her in the position of panel moderator without her asking to do so, or even knowing she would be doing it!! Jenn and Jess knew she would rock it at our first Symposium, and are so grateful she is bringing her inquisitive mind, genuine heart, and incredible energy as part of our S.O.A.R team!!

She and Jenn immediately clicked, and spoke often about the vision and energy Jenn and Jess wanted the attendees to feel when they walked into the room. Nicole jumped in with her whole heart, and executed details of their vision beyond just centerpieces! She printed and put together our programs, cut and glued hot air balloons that were spread thoughtfully around the space, and even made little sustenance bags for our second break!! A natural fit, Nicole is part of our team and we couldn't be more grateful for her bringing her gifts to S.O.A.R.

Heidi not only took still candids and posed shots of attendees, she also caught our session leaders in action, got a rockin' group photo, and even video taped portions of the Symposium, as well as taking some testimonials from attendees.
