“If you want to host a professionally managed, highly engaging event, I wholeheartedly recommend Lamar Creative Co. They bring an invaluable mix of expertise and heart to every project.”
- Dr. Ershela Sims, PhD
Executive Director & CEO of WEPAN
At Lamar Creative Co., we believe that every event is an opportunity to inspire, engage, and create lasting impact. Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Dr. Ershela Sims, Executive Director and CEO of WEPAN (Women in Engineering ProActive Network), and an incredible team—including Sharika Kellogg of 25/8 MoMents and Noelia Sanchez of Noteworthy Lab—to design dynamic events and workshops that enhance the experience of WEPAN members.
From strategic planning to seamless execution, our collaboration has focused on delivering experiences that not only inform but empower. Together, we’ve built spaces where members connect, learn, and leave with tangible takeaways to advance eligibility of meritocracy in engineering.
The Power of a Shared Vision
WEPAN is dedicated to the workforce development of engineering, and their events play a crucial role in bringing together thought leaders, educators, and professionals to drive meaningful change. When Dr. Sims and her team partnered with Lamar Creative Co., they sought an intentional, strategic approach to event planning—one that ensured every session, panel, and networking opportunity aligned with WEPAN’s mission.
Reflecting on our work together, Dr. Sims shared:
“Working with Lamar Creative Co. was truly transformative for our event planning needs. Beth Anne brought a level of organization, creativity, and attention to detail that allowed us to focus on our goals, knowing every aspect of the event was in expert hands. Her commitment to understanding our vision and her seamless coordination skills created an experience that was both memorable and impactful. If you’re looking to host a professionally managed, highly engaging event, I wholeheartedly recommend Lamar Creative Co. They bring an invaluable mix of expertise and heart to every project.”
The Strategy Behind Impactful Events
Crafting events that resonate with attendees requires more than just logistics—it demands a deep understanding of audience needs, clear messaging, and engaging content. Through our work with WEPAN, we’ve:
✅ Designed and facilitated interactive workshops that encourage conversation and action.
✅ Curated speaker lineups and panel discussions that amplify diverse voices and expertise.
✅ Developed content strategies to ensure key takeaways translate into long-term impact.
✅ Seamlessly managed event logistics, from registration to post-event engagement.
This collaborative approach has allowed us to create high-value experiences for WEPAN’s members, ensuring that each event leaves attendees inspired and equipped with actionable insights.
The Future of WEPAN Events
Our work with Dr. Sims, Sharika Kellogg, and Noelia Sanchez continues to evolve, with each event building upon the last. As we move forward, Lamar Creative Co. remains committed to helping WEPAN grow its reach, enhance engagement, and deliver programming that truly makes a difference.
