In March 2021, she joined the League in the newly created role of Conferences and Events Manager where she is directly responsible for the logistics of all conferences and workshops as well as the League’s Annual Convention.

When she’s not updating an agenda, budgeting expenses, lining up speakers or managing vendor relationships, Keely is active in her church or enjoying time with family and friends. She can also be found on the tennis courts in local USTA Leagues, walking or reading. She enjoys a good dessert and can’t say no to chocolate.
