Steven also has a “Full-Throttle” resume; the recipient of many Meetings & Events Industry awards, including induction into the Meeting Professionals International (MPI) Community of Honorees. In 2000, Steven and Wendy Foster became the first husband/wife business team to earn the Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) designation; and both have been profiled by CNN/Fortune as a Small Business Success.
