SHE BELIEVED in our community!

The Founding Sponsor of the Player Development Summit Terrolyn Nunn.

In 2023 I received a sponsorship notification from someone I didn't know. As I started to piece things together I still didn't understand the thought behind this sponsorship request.

We jumped on the call and after giving the information on the event and the sponsorship levels. There was nothing but certainty for Terrolyn. I am so thankful for her and how she has supported this event since DAY ONE.

In the EXCLUSIVE episode we discuss her passion for this space, the people who she serves in this space, how she is committed to this event, and how she's excited for all who will be attending soon.
