Account Manager - Strategic Markets at United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County

Rayna recently moderated a panel discussion for United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County’s Leadership Society and did an amazing job leading an effective, informative and lively discussion. Not only did she rise to the occasion by offering her knowledge and expertise in the subject matter, she graced us with her professionalism, preparation and poise. This engagement was one example of why Rayna is not only an asset to her organization, but to our community as a whole. I would recommend Rayna, and likely ask her to assist my team again, as a speaker, facilitator or moderator.
