“Luann possesses that rare talent of stitching together the thousand details of an event while maintaining focus on a project’s larger goals. Through all this, she is somehow able to build such strong team spirit that no one wants to leave once the event is done. When Luann asks you to be a part of something, the only possible answer is ‘yes.’ She is the creator of wondrous events and projects rooted in social justice. I would follow her anywhere.”
