 Richard giving his thoughtful speech... TPN celebrated the retirement of our much loved co-founder Richard Moore last Friday at the EMP. Attended by family and friends, it had the feel of a reunion as well as a retirement party. Guests included employees from 20 years in the past, TPN’s early days, all out to toast Richard and his general wonderful-ness; a testament to Richard’s management and people skills.
Richard’s love of fax machines was celebrated, and our MC, Greg Elder, dusted off an early version of a fax Richard purchased and gave it as a gift. I’m sure its sitting on Richard’s mantel.
We wish him all the best and we’ll miss his quick sense of humor and easy companionship. Congrats Richard!

“Champagne taste on a beer budget” – set that to a jingle and you have the 2009 theme song for the events industry! Every event we manage requires careful budget control and oversight but never so much as in the year 2009, and in the case of our Circle of Care events, never such a well-heeled guest list of benefactors. Created by TPNers Cathy Morgan, Martin Christoffel, Greg Elder and Megan West, along with former TPNer Cindy Krueger and The Edge Creative, these events proved that a network of good taste, determination and talent can overcome conservative budgets. Mama always said, “money doesn’t buy taste”. Our team was savvy enough to know when to spend and when to seek an alternative solution. This is what we mean when we tout “creative solutions” in our services. By tightly managing our hours, we were able to reserve more resources for the show floor. The events were beautiful, educational and honored attendees, without showering them with meaningless extravagance.
