24. According to ISES Indiana Member, Jama Finney
with Cake Zen:
"I regularly attended meetings years ago, but priorities changed with a
full time career and ayoung family. I came back to ISES, because I missed the camaraderie and networking that go hand-in-hand with ISES. Many of the event professionals I respect the most are a part of the Indiana Chapter. Plus, I am tired of experiencing the PACE Awards through text on my couch at home! Out of ISES, I am gaining a solid professional support network and contributing my own experience in the events industry to help others build their own businesses.”
