Welcome to the Hospitality and Event Planning Network, a career and
relationship building newsletter network for all who work in the hospitality
and event planning industries, published by Sonja Johnson. The objective of
this network is to build relationships and help each other with career issues
and other professional and personal challenges.

Here’s how to participate: Send any issue or job opportunity to sonjahepn@comcast.net and I will post
it in the weekly newsletter sent to you and all other subscribers. If you are
sending a job opportunity, please include the title, organization, and
location, as well as a brief description/link/contact information. We also like
to hear if you got a job as a result of this network!

************ The Short Self-Pitch (SSP) *********************

I am a dedicated and results-oriented professional, seeking to relocate to the
Dallas Fort Worth area. I have approximately 10 years in meeting and event
logistics and planning, conference services, room-block management, attendee
registration, site selection, catering, transportation coordination, contract
management, travel arrangements, vendor and sponsor management, and conference
materials. I have additional strengths in writing, editing,
marketing, promotions, and presentations, and a proven track record of success
in planning and coordinating major events with several components. I am a
creative and flexible team player, who works well with multiple levels within
and outside of an organization to deliver results.

For additional information on how my experience can help your organization,
please contact me at sonjahepn@comcast.net.
