Prior to joining the GBPI team as deputy director in 2011, she served as the policy and communications director for Georgia Family Connection Partnership where she co-managed the Georgia KIDS COUNT project and monitored public policy and its impact on children, families and communities.

August 15 - Wendy Kinney
Wendy Kinney has devoted most of her working life to the study of marketing and has experienced, again and again, the power and profitability of personal referrals. She has developed a multi-layered approach for creating a network of relationships and shares the approach through lively, engaging and content-filled workshops and seminars. Corporations and Associations call on Wendy to deliver her workshops in a variety of formats and venues: keynotes, as a luncheon speaker, breakout sessions and in-house training.
Do the comment sheets from your events say “Great information - wish there was time for networking?” Wendy Kinney's workshops will show them how to make connections that continue after the event. She is a frequent guest speaker at National Sales Meetings, Trade Association Conventions, Trade Association Meetings or Business-Building Clinics. Wendy Kinney's programs are structured to address the needs of the organization or company. When you book Wendy to deliver a speech or a workshop, count on this: * high energy, content-rich sessions * participants who learn - while they're at the event - how to get more from the event * easy-to-follow processes for building a referral network.
