Abby Andvik, Manager - Events
Abby has been a professional event planner for more than nine years, but her passion for events started much earlier than that. She began working in events when she was 15 years old and assisted with events throughout college. She attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison and graduated with a communications degree. She has worked for the Minnesota Twins, Anheuser Busch In Bev and most recently a golf course in the Twin Cities. Abby is most looking forward to taking her event planning experience into a new industry and meeting new people. Contact Abby at: abby@ncel.org
