President Elect: Katie Suty
Senior Events Manager, Experience Columbus
ILEA Member for: 6 years
Favorite ILEA Experience: At ILEA Live in New Orleans a few years ago they organized a parade for the group to travel to our evening event. There was a New Orleans jazz band leading the way and they shut down streets so we could really feel the Mardi Gras experience.

VP Communication: Spencer Saylor
Event Planner, Metro Cuisine
ILEA Member for: 3 years
Favorite ILEA Experience: The 'behind-the-scenes' tour of the Beyonce & Jay-Z show set-up at Ohio Stadium. This was one of the first things that I was able to experience as a member and it instantly highlighted one of the many benefits of being a part of ILEA in Columbus! Seeing venues and events in ways that the public cannot, has been insightful and interesting as both an event professional and someone who enjoys attending live events.

Tracy Moran, CSEP, CTA
Strategic Projects Director, CAPA
ILEA Member for: 20 years
Favorite ILEA Experience: At the 2002 Sydney Australia conference I sat for my CSEP with another member from Sydney and passed! We played instruments on the stage of the Sydney Opera House and had our own personal regatta race with ILEA friends from around the world. Then, at the Hawaii conference years later, I got to dive with my friends from ILEA Sydney! ILEA provides the opportunity for a worldwide network of friendships and peers. (I also went diving at the Bahamas conference with folks from ILEA Calgary!)

ILEA Member for: 6 years
Favorite ILEA Experience: I really enjoyed the tour of the Ohio Theater and behind the scenes at the Nutcracker last fall. It was amazing to see the space, and all the ins and outs of the theater. I loved how we had so many attendees and everyone was starting to get into the holiday spirit. It was a fun evening!
