At Renée Smith Events we love to plan auctions, galas, and other events
Renée Smith, Owner and Lead Planner
After 25 years it’s still exciting for me to create fun, compelling, unique, and successful events! Working with staff, volunteers, and supporters who are so passionate about making a difference in the world is very rewarding and inspiring.
As a former non-profit staff member, volunteer, and board member, I understand the stresses my clients are dealing with and the need to be creative to raise funds with tight budgets and never enough hours in the day.
I’ve spent my career working for nonprofit organizations, starting in PR and Marketing at a large regional nonprofit. I decided that planning events was the most exciting part of the job, so I started my own company so I could bring my experience and skills to work together with development staff and volunteer committees who need some help to reach their goals.
I enjoy spending my free time hiking, skiing, boating, snorkeling or diving, taking photos, and traveling.
My team and partners
I partner with experienced vendors and software platforms to provide seamless solutions. We are recommended by Greater Giving and Auctria auction software platforms, and have used others.
