Organization is Key

Eager for a creative outlet when her kids were young, Jodi founded a kids clothing line called "Made With Luv" that would take plain clothes and add appliqués to create unique and funky styles. As her children grew, she became involved in event planning and fundraising for her children's schools working on a variety of different events from Halloween parties to international dinners and spring flings to name a few. Most recently she became very involved with the Co-op Board for the community she lives where she got first hand experience overseeing large events such as casino nights, tennis socials and many other community activities. Jodi currently acts as the main point person for Out of the Box on event setups and breakdowns and helps to keep our team organized, focused and motivated for each event.
