her spare time volunteering on the PVF Roundtable Board of directors.  Spare time doesn’t seem like the appropriate term here, as the two fundraising events she leads (golf tournament and TroutBlast) are massive undertakings that contribute to over half of the scholarship donations the RT raises annually, but her time spent volunteering is something she takes great pride in.  “These events have provided a platform to connect with up-and-coming young professionals who are poised to make their mark. It is fascinating to witness the passion and drive they possess, as well as their dedication to carrying on the legacy of those who came before them. Engaging with these individuals has not only expanded my network but also given me a glimpse into the future of our industry.”

Overall, Jamie feels that PVF Roundtable events have proven to be invaluable in terms of networking opportunities. “I highly recommend attending these gatherings to anyone who wants to establish meaningful connections and stay updated with the latest trends and innovations in our industry.  Personally, I feel extremely positive and enthusiastic about the efforts to raise funds for scholarships aimed at students currently enrolled in the PVF trades. By providing financial support to these students, we are not only encouraging their education but also giving them a significant boost as they enter the workforce. I believe that investing in the future generation of our industry is crucial for its growth and sustainability. By offering scholarships, we are not only helping individuals achieve their career goals but also contributing to the overall development of the PVF trades.

Moreover, I appreciate the integration of networking into our fundraising initiatives. This allows us to leverage the relationships and connections we have built over time to make a tangible impact in the industry we hold dear. It is inspiring to witness how our collective efforts are driving positive change and fostering the growth of our industry.”
