My friend Meagan Strout (CEO of Tack Advisors – the leading provider of management consulting and recruitment for administrative professionals) agreed to share the recording of this recent webinar she hosted with Lacretia Adamski about planning events in a post-covid world.
Meagan and Lacretia (senior executive assistant at Salesforce) discuss the new paradigm for event planning, including pre-event communication, onsite testing, and creating a hybrid virtual experience.
If you, or someone you know, are getting excited about hosting in-person or virtual events this holiday season, I know you’ll enjoy their conversation.
Thank you Meagan and the Tack Advisors team for sharing this featured session with the Leader Assistant Community!

Owned and operated by father/daughter duo Ken and Elise, Elkhorn Peak Cellars makes only 1,000 cases of wine annually. You won’t find their wines in any wine shops, so their fruit and wines continue to be one of Napa Valley’s best kept secrets.

Ken and Elise and their team can accommodate large or small orders for all your holiday gifting needs this season.
So visit ElkhornPeak.com ASAP to get your holiday wine packages ordered in time for the holidays.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For gift pack arrival BEFORE Christmas, orders must be received no later than December 11th (if you’re on the EAST COAST), and December 18th (if you’re on the WEST COAST).
Oh right, did I mention they sent me some wine and it was seriously delicious? 🙂
