MPI MN Profiles Supplier Taylor Cashman

MPI MN profiles Supplier Taylor Cashman, Saint Paul RiverCentre associate account executive.

Tell us about your business and your current job.
   
I am an account executive for Saint Paul RiverCentre. We are housed under Minnesota Sports and Entertainment so in addition to my main role of booking event business for RiverCentre and Roy Wilkins Auditorium, I also work with folks from the MN Wild and Xcel Energy Center. 

What do you hope to gain from your MPI Membership? 

I hope to meet more industry professionals and learn from them. As a semi-fresh college graduate (2019), I am very eager to learn and grow in the event industry.

If there was only one thing a potential customer could remember about your company, what would that be? 

We stand behind our value of providing a world-class service-first experience. From our operations crew, to event management team, to executive leadership, everyone wants to provide our guests with the best experience possible. 

What one piece of advice would you give to a new supplier joining the MPI network? 

I would say to not be afraid to reach out and introduce yourself to new people. You never know what connections you will make and where they can lead you, personally and professionally. 

What has been the best piece of advice you have been given, and how has it made a difference in your life - personally or professionally?

I played hockey, soccer and golf my entire life and before stepping on the field, the ice or the course, my dad always said to work hard and have fun. I think both are equally important in order to be successful and enjoy what you are doing. 

What are some of your favorite pastime activities?  

I really enjoy being active, whether that is taking my dog on a walk, going rollerblading or playing in my golf league, anything outside is my jam! I also enjoy baking, spending time with my family and friends, and shopping.
