The Sierra Event Company was extremely fortunate to have Brittney join the SEC team in early 2006 and since she has since planned extensive end complex events both in and out of the Tahoe are for clients such as Google, Aflac, Citibank and many other demanding clients. . Her product knowledge, extensive event planning experience, exposure to planning a number of “green” events and her abundant enthusiasm make her a perfect fit for C2it Event and she is proud to be a member of an experienced team, dedicated to the highest standards of performance.
