AZA Events President and Owner Lori James Brownell has been one of the Southwest's most creative, innovative and successful event producers for nearly thirty years, lending her considerable talents to an extraordinary broad range of clients and businesses.
Lori's penchant for professionalism, visionary take on the event-planning process and undeniable Midas touch when it comes to destination event management has made her one of the most sought-after DMC professionals across Arizona, Southern California and the Southwestern United States. Single-handedly responsible for taking AZA Events from a small, Arizona-specific operation to a thriving multi-million dollar company, Lori is perhaps most recognized for her ability to not just anticipate client needs before they're even discussed, but to deliver them well beyond what's expected.
