Brooke Pennington
Ms. Brooke Pennington is a Young Professional and new member to the AGA Shenandoah Valley Chapter. This year, the AGA Shenandoah Valley Chapter purchased Conferences I/O for attendance tracking, polling, Q&A, and issuing CPE certificates. Brooke jumped in to help the transition to a virtual environment for chapter meetings, PDTs and webinars. She did not hesitate to learn how to use Conferences I/O, and developed a relationship with the Conferences I/O trainer to not only learn the software but to also set up a training session in which members from the AGA Richmond Chapter were invited since they also had the software.
Additionally, Brooke developed a job aid to send to attendees on how to use Conferences I/O and briefed its use at the beginning of all chapter events. Brooke also monitored and troubleshooted all Conferences I/O issues to ensure the software ran smoothly. Brooke is an absolute asset to the AGA Shenandoah Valley Chapter and has taken the reins in learning Conferences I/O. The AGA Shenandoah Valley Chapter had multiple successful events this year to include a one-day event, a two-day event with three other chapters, and varying individual webinars. Brooke deserves to be Volunteer of the Year for her dedication to the success of the AGA Shenandoah Valley Chapter, its events, and to AGA.
