After working in furniture sales and the state legislature, former Senator Bill Hardiman (R-Kentwood) staffer, Kim Gregory, opened her own event consulting business in East Lansing.
Gregory’s company, Posh Events, specializes in planning special events for Lansing area companies and trade and professional associations.
“It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and I’ve been talking about it for years,” Gregory says. “I thought ,if this works and I like it, I’m going to do it.”
Gregory got her start at the Detroit Chamber of Commerce's popular Mackinac Policy Conference. She represented Lansing-area organizations, including the Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP), the Greater Lansing Convention & Visitors Bureau, Lansing Board of Water & Light, Lansing Entertainment & Public Facilities Authority and the Lansing Capital Regional International Airport.
“As soon as I book other events, I’ll definitely be hiring a few more employees,” Gregory says.
Gregory also plans to extend her event planning efforts to Florida.
“Our philosophy is simple,” Gregory says. “Life is an event; make it posh. Whether it’s a grand opening in downtown Lansing or corporate retreat in an exotic locale, we can produce a posh event that makes a statement about who you are and where you are heading.”
