“When you see leadership skills rise in your own sector, when you see people work together, and they’re all trying to achieve one goal, it does make the overall mission beautiful, right! We come together and we really aim to pull something off, and, without a doubt, all of these people coming together and working as hard as they can to put this show on for over 250 guests is quite amazing.”
