My Background

I grew up in a small midwestern farming community, one of six siblings. Prior to joining Bostrom I worked in the retail food industry for three years as a direct marketing representative. In 1978 I moved to Monterey California and joined the Bostrom Monterey office as an administrative assistant. I was fortunate that my first association client experiences were in the hospitality and wine industry.  I quickly established a taste for fine dining, wine, culture and travel. With the mentorship of Glenn Bostrom and Joan Keisel I embraced the passion of working with and leading mission driven organizations which has lead to my 40+ years working the in the association management industry.
