FBA STAFF SPOTLIGHT

Name: Payton Fewell Title: Event and Member Service Coordinator At FBA since: June 2023 Education: Dedman College of Hospitality, Florida State University Hometown: Crawfordville, Florida

Describe your role for the FBA. As the Event and Member Service Coordinator, my job is to ensure a seamless event by reserving spaces, negotiating and editing contracts, and creating programs. I will coordinate all events for the FBA including meetings, conferences, and seminars. Favorite thing about the FBA? Because I’m about four weeks new to the FBA, I would say my coworkers have been my favorite thing so far. I was able to get to know my coworkers and our members at the Annual Meeting and it was quite the introduction! Everyone was so welcoming and I am excited to be here! How do you spend your free time? When I am not in the office, I like to stay busy! I enjoy taking my pup to the dog park, cooking, going

to the river or beach, attending concerts, and cheering on the Noles! If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? I haven’t had the opportunity to travel out of the United States yet, although my first trip (hopefully) will be to Ireland to watch the Florida State football game in 2024. I get to travel and watch my favorite team? Sounds like a win to me! Do you have pets? I am a proud dog mom of one. Luna is a Lab/ Catahoula mix and boy does she keep me busy!
