Toni Lee is both a proud Bobcat alumnus and employee. After a successful career in corporate event planning and production in San Diego, she returned home to Montana to be with family and friends. Toni eventually made her way back to her alma mater in 2007 and has been planning and coordinating conferences for the university ever since. In 2015, Toni earned the prestigious distinction of Collegiate Conference and Events Professional (CCEP) from the Association of Collegiate Conference and Events Directors-International (ACCED-I). Although Toni loves academic conferencing with all its exciting twists and turns, it just doesn't compare to her true love, a whitewater ride down a wild river, in Tallulah Blue, her trusty raft, followed by a campfire with friends and family under the big sky.
