Ms. Fazzari most recently served as the Assistant Director of Conference Management at the University of
Colorado,
Boulder, a post she held since 2015. She has worked in meetings and events activities in both staff and
leadership
roles since 2004. Her background includes association experience, as well as extensive involvement in a

“looking
forward to working closely with GSA members and staff to take the Annual Meeting to the next level.” She is
excited

throughout
my career.”
