Gratitude & Growth
“Grateful” barely scratches the surface. Serving as co-chair for QRCA 2025 in Philly was an unforgettable honor. Huge thanks to the incredible volunteers, QRCA board, Acumen, and my co-chair Chris Hauck—you let me fly, and I’ll never forget it!
People & Purpose
QRCA is about more than insights—it’s about community. Whether you’re starting out, pivoting, or a seasoned pro, the connections you make here fuel your passion, build confidence, and push you forward. We don’t compete—we collaborate.
Moments That Mattered
We stepped away from our businesses, our families, and our usual routines for a week—but what we received in return was priceless. To everyone who showed up, brought their best vibes, and kept a smile on their face: Thank you. Seeing all your posts and reading your reflections about the impact of this conference has truly moved me.
Fun in Philly
McGillin’s: From the alley to the ale house, our early arrivals dinner was pure Philly charm—loud, packed, and full of love.
SPIN: Giant Jenga, ping pong, custom drinks, and endless laughs. Even the “quiet room” was buzzing!
Zumba with Cher Chislett: A morning ritual we all needed—thank you for the energy!
Eagles win + city parade: Philly showed UP!
Workshops That Delivered
Marilyn Heywood Paige gave us real tools to thrive on LinkedIn and stay strong when referrals dry up. A standout session with practical takeaways.
