REPORT - IMEX - FRANKFURT: The inaugural Site Master Motivator award was presented to Laurie Sprouse, CITE, CMP, DMCP on Wednesday, 26 May 2010 at IMEX in Frankfurt, Germany. The Site Master Motivator acknowledges the highest standard of excellence held by a motivational events professional and recognizes individuals serving as ambassadors of progress for the global community.
Sean Mahoney, Site President states, “Laurie Sprouse embodies the essence of a Master Motivator, and is the ideal candidate for this honor. She inspires her colleagues to strive toward greater excellence and is a testament to how one person can affect change. Her passion and leadership in Texas, USA has been instrumental in her representing the collective voice of the industry.”
When a tax change was proposed that would have put DMCs in her area out of business, Laurie, President of Ultimate Ventures, a DMC Network Company, led a taskforce to identify the appropriate steps to enact change. She engaged lobbyists, testified at hearings and was integral in ensuring fair legislation was implemented.
Brenda Anderson, Site CEO said, “The Site Master Motivator award is just one way to highlight the extraordinary work of our industry’s professionals in advocating our community and creating business opportunities. Site honors Laurie as a Master Motivator for her drive to keep our industry vibrant and business in her area flourishing.”
