Terry Matthews-Lombardo
Terry has a formal college degree in Hospitality and Business Management and, once launched into the professional world of meeting planning, was among the first to receive the Certified Meeting Professional designation [in 1987] that further confirmed her place and dedication in this industry. With planning experiences that cover international destinations, she's traveled to over forty five countries and experienced a lot of detours along the journey. This all provides interesting stories about how planners actually make meetings happen, and that has lead to the writing path of her career. But even as an industry veteran, Terry is fond of saying, "Everything meaningful I've ever learned about my chosen profession has happened during on-the-job-training. Oh, and also, that in this industry, you actually DO need to sweat the small stuff." She likes to include a both a touch of humor and education in her writing, always reminding readers that these are true stories about things that have really happened behind the scenes, or sometimes right in front of the audience . Terry is a published author in multiple print and digital formats, and you can find her blog at www.terrysworldtravels.com where she focuses on entertaining travel stories and industry related issues. It should be noted that this book is a collection of stories from multiple industry pros that Terry has personally known and worked with over the years, and while some stories were drafted by individual authors, all have been revised and edited by TML herself.
