Cathi Thompson
Chairman and Founder
The Bridal and Event Networking Group (BENG) was conceived to provide opportunities for vendors, who provide goods and services to weddings and events, to network and build professional peer relationships.
Since 2005, it has been my pleasure to lead this great group of Vendors who daily promote excellence in the event industry.
Board of Directors:
The board of directors is the group of individuals appointed to represent members. The board's responsibility is to establish policies for BENG and provide oversight. The board makes all decisions regarding the governance of the organization. All board positions are voluntary. We meet at the end of the month to address the business of the group and to approve any new applications.
