In Memoriam: Claudia Jennings

The meetings and incentive travel industry lost a longtime colleague in the passing of Claudia Jennings of Corporate Diversions. Claudia passed away on April 28, 2008 after a valiant struggle with breast cancer. She fought cancer with hope and determination, inspiring many with her courage. She leaves a large footprint for all to follow. Claudia's sister, Aileen Feuerberg, will continue operating Corporate Diversions. You may read Aileen's tribute to Claudia here.

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation has been close to Claudia’s heart. Donations can be made in her honor at: www.ockomen.org.

 

In Memoriam: Tamara Nored

It is with heavy hearts that we share that Tamara Nored passed away in September. To all who knew her, Tamara was an important incentive and travel industry leader and dear friend. Tamara was always that bright energy in the room with a smile that greeted everyone and a heart as big as Texas. Tamara worked at Griffin Meetings & Incentives, and served the members of SITE faithfully as a SITE International Board Director as well as through work on SITE committees. Check the SITE International website for details about the memorial service and memorial gifts.
