She has served thousands of event owners, and she proudly touts her favorite experience as creating memories for the athletes, families and fans that come to Virginia Beach year after year.

Nancy helped start the Virginia Beach Sports Marketing program in 1999 and since that time she and her team are credited with bringing more than 1.7 million hotel room nights and creating lasting economic impact.
