Amanda Lee Barber the Director of Events and Meeting for DAR (Daughter of the Amaerican Revolution) @eventsdar. A historic landmark in the heart of Washington, DC, DAR National Headquarters is perfect for any wedding or corporate reception.

 

Amanda's strongest asset is the diversity of businesses she has worked with. In event planning, she has helped solo artists to large corporations all struggling how to take their business and execute an event that worked for their larger goals. Planning an event is just like planning any product or service launch for a business. It all starts with both the why and the target audience. By better understanding a client's business, she can put together the right event that people will be excited to attend and get that coveted ROI.

Four  (4) FUN FACTS: 

(1) Amanda is a performer - She has done improvised comedy and dabble in stand up (as long as the set doesn't keep her up past 10 PM). Not afraid of speaking in front of crowds . . . or singing. 

(2) She become a major podcast junkie.  For a mix of news, business, tech, and lifestyle. Her absolute favorite is "Pivot" with Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway. She even got a question selected and Scott Galloway said her full name, like, a million times. 

(3) Amanda grew up in San Diego, CA - the land of sunshine and happiness.

(4) She got her MBA part time, which means she is really good about time management. One of the best decisions she could've ever made, because if not now then when?
