A nationally recognized leader in the nonprofit and cultural sectors, Chevy brings a wealth of experience in strategic leadership, equity-focused initiatives and organizational growth. She’ll lead an engaging discussion with five powerhouse women who are driving impact across key sectors of travel and tourism.
