Furrie was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, and went to Southwest Texas State (now known as Texas State University) graduating with a degree in Education and as a certified K-8 teacher. People often ask her if Furrie (pronounced Fyur-ee) is her \u201creal\u201d name, and the answer is \u201cyes!\u201d It was her great grandmother\u2019s surname. She has many hobbies in her free time including working on her yard, shopping for cool things for her house and <\/em>\u00a0the shows she works on, family gatherings with her 50 first cousins on her mother\u2019s side, and trying out new places to eat.<\/p>\n

Her advice for exhibitors or show management working through this unprecedented challenge with COVID-19 is that communication and flexibility are key. She emphasizes the importance of having constant, ongoing communication with all entities of your work life and all stakeholders in an event. Being prepared means looking into next steps, and flexibility because the \u201cnew normal\u201d may take some adjustments.\u00a0 She says, “Although change is often hard, great things can come with it as long as you wash your hands, wear your mask and stay safe!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
