Name, Title and Company:

Debora Renken - Regional Manager

HelmsBriscoe

Job description: HelmsBriscoe does meeting site selection for companies/associations/SMURF meetings and incentive trips that include sleeping rooms - Worldwide.

Years involved in KCMPI: 2 years

KCMPI committees I have served on: Monthly Program Committee

What I enjoy best about the hospitality industry: NOTHING is boring. Each client's event and location are different from the last. I enjoy helping with the searches, meeting new people and solving challenges.

Activities I enjoy outside of work: Grandkids, pets, sewing, crafts, paranormal, traveling with husband and doing sites with clients.

Anything else you'd like to add: Working for HelmsBriscoe allows me to stay involved with planners. After being a planner with GE Energy and BHA for over 18 years planning is in your blood. Once a planner - always a planner. I enjoy saving my clients, or their assistant, from doing the back and forth time consuming tedious tasks of the search, calling/emailing/faxing/following-up with hotels who haven't responded for these events. My joy - making my clients LOOK GOOD!!!
