Before that, Tonya York (founder and President) served as VP of Greater Louisville Inc., where she worked for 13 years. While at GLI, she ran the Center for Small Business working to attract, develop and advocate small and medium-sized privately owned businesses. With Tonya leading your event, her experience and knowledge brings so much more to the table than just an “event planner” she’s THE go-to event planner and she has a phenomenal crew of event assistants, logistics managers, marketers, and more. The YMI team is truly unlike any other event company because of our years of experience and knowledge from various fields. With so much variation in our group, it’s impossible to find any other team that can compare. YMI has been fortunate to have the honor of creating and managing so many amazing events in the city of Louisville and around the nation. From local non-profit soirees to major municipal “mega-events,” large corporate conferences to small-scale grand openings, we have helped to create events and branding opportunities that are built on sound strategy. Our specialty is economic development related business conference and event planning and fundraising -- as well as non-profit and charity event planning and fundraising. In our opinion, an event-however large or small-is never “just an event.” It is an opportunity — to rally supporters, make connections, build consensus, raise revenue, raise awareness for your cause or group and build the bridge between where you are and where you want to go. YMI helps you with the critical work that must be done before an event happens — creating a vision, working with our dedicated planning committees, and assisting with partners all to create a solid event concept. Once your event is in motion, our team of employees and preferred partners can manage every detail to perfection—from concept to implementation. While our schedule is busy, we’re always interested in taking on new clients. If you’re interested in working with us, please send Tonya York an email: [email protected]
