“In
my nearly twenty-five years in higher education,
never have I worked with a P.R./Fundraising
person as effective as Donna Miller. She has
people skills, practical wisdom, and an unpretentious
manner that, combined, add up to someone who
is simultaneously professional and charming.
I am happy to recommend her without reservation.”

Consulting can help you plan your event whether it
is a reception or an opening gala for 2,000 guests.
Special events demand
special people ready to plan for everything and then
deal quickly and positively with the unexpected when
it happens. Some of the unexpected:
• waiting alone at 5:30 am in a frozen parking
lot for the 18 wheeler to arrive with snacks for the
5K run,
• climbing the trees and stringing lights for
the opening gala later that same day
• loading and unloading furniture to create
a special artist green room demanded rather suddenly
• realizing at party's start that trash cans
hadn't been ordered |
