I am pleased to announce that Talia Carpenter is being promoted from within NAMG for the position of events & sponsorship coordinator. Talia joined our membership marketing department last fall as a marketing assistant and has done a wonderful job. Her previous experience as a marketing assistant at Grandma's Restaurant Company in Duluth, Minnesota had her working on the Grandma's Marathon, fashion shows, trade shows and concerts. So she has a good grasp of event work. Her double major in Marketing and Communications from the University of Minnesota - Duluth was a big asset.
While there will be some training prior to, Talia will officially join our events department on Wednesday, August 1st.
Talia's email is tcarpenter2@namginc.com (yes, there's already a Tom Carpenter that works here, so you have to add the "2") and she'll be answering the departmental "events" emails as well. You'll be able to reach her at our toll-free number 877-893-7947 ext 4.
