Please describe a past program that you feel typifies the business opportunity you represent for our partners:

Our Tier 1 events are multi-day gatherings of brokers, customers and sales reps in the insurance/tech industry who Aura brings together to focus on thought leadership, networking and relationship building in unique and memorable destinations. Two of our most recent included Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Oregon and Edgewood in Tahoe. Each of these programs, again, referred to as our Tier 1, include 20’ish attendees for single occupancy for 2 nights and we will include 1 or more destination activities, host all F&B, and seek out lovely dinner evenings both nights.

Please share with us an opportunity you are currently working on:

I would love to make contact with Paws Up as we are seeking a ranch-style Tier 1 event for 2026. Also we do a ski event every other year so 2027 (St. Regis Aspen), Eau Palm Beach, Canyon Ranch. These would be Tier 1 for 20’ish people, 2 nights, depending upon region would be time of year. Activities are just as important and accommodations. Amazing F&B outlets. Unique group dinner settings. Approx room budget is high $500’s

In what locales have you found the greatest program successes?

Our groups love ski, golf, fishing & wellness. To name a few, we’ve been to Pebble Beach, Torrey Pines, Payne’s Valley, Kiawah, Pinehurst for golf. We’ve done Vail (Sebastian) & Deer Valley (Montage) for ski. Edgewood Tahoe & The Sanctuary in AZ for Wellness.

Typical duration of meeting or incentive program. (number of nights): 3
Level of luxury you expect for your most important programs: Luxury: ($500-$700 per night)

If money were no object, I would: Buy a beach house at 30A, as well as a working ranch out in Montana all kinds of animals. And travel between the two. I would give to special charities, and I would also want someone to create a year-long itinerary for me and book all my travel to destinations all over the world.
Something that would surprise you about me: I’m actually an introvert! Networking at events is hard for me!
