Mara Ferguson

Mara is a one-woman speaker's bureau for the organization. A Zingerman's ambassador. Conference Rat. Manager of ZingTrain Speaker Series. Good source of organizational knowledge. Specifically, she works with Presenters and Speakers entering and leaving the building. From the moment someone engages us about a keynote, she works with them to find the best speaker for their event and manages the details throughout the entire process. Mara's favorite part of her job? Working with someone over email and phone - building a great working relationship - and then meeting them at the event! She finds it exciting and fulfilling to get to shake their hand and actually meet someone that she's worked so closely with over the six months before the event takes place. When she's not at work, Mara enjoys walks and hikes with her husband and their dog-hter, putzing around the kitchen, listening to good music with the sun on her face, travel and whatever random art or home project moves her.
