Since July 2014, I've been at Palace Pointe, where we assist companies, schools and associations in the greater Durham area with programs that support their staff, raise funds, promote educcation and/or grow business through entertainment activities and event facilities. I welcome the opportunity to learn about your business, customer and/or human resources goals -- and if Palace Pointe is not in a position to assist, I'll do my best to connect you with someone who can!
