chairman of the country’s largest franchised local moving
company and she’s been featured on NBC’s Today Show,
the Oprah Winfrey Show and CNBC’s How I Made
Millions. She became president of the family’s moving

franchise to 39. The franchises have increased to more than
200 worldwide and total more than 1,800 identifiable moving
trucks.
Keynote Breakfast, Workshops, Luncheon, B2B matchmaker
sessions and a tradeshow will be held as part of the
