Sympathy

Amy Englund Wood… If you didn’t know Amy, she worked behind the scenes helping MEA find venues for conferences for the past several years. She passed away peacefully on May 23 at age 44. Amy was a courageous young woman, full of life, who touched and inspired many lives. Both her friendship and professionalism will be dearly missed by many industry colleagues and MEA staff members who had the pleasure of working with her.

Congratulations
