“Linda’s experience in the meetings and events industry is a tremendous fit for our company’s future growth opportunities,” said Miller. “Her commitment to innovation, people, and service excellence aligns perfectly with our Ideals.”

“Throughout my career in this industry, I’ve seen the power of live events drive growth and connection. Markey’s has built a strong national footprint and the team’s reputation for excellence is unmatched.” shared McNairy.
