Hi, I'm Kellie Schmidt, the Statewide Director of Development for Landscape Illinois, and the event manager for InVigorateU. I have been with the Landscape Illinois team since July 2023. In addition to InVigorateU, I am responsible for statewide member outreach, program implementation, and various legislative and advocacy efforts.
I will be your main point of contact for the conference. It's important to me that you have a great experience with our group! We will work together on logistics such as
onsite arrival, audio visual, handouts, and speaker expenses (if applicable).
I look forward to working with you on a successful event!
Meet the InVigorateU Conference Committee
The InVigorateU Committee: Kevin Collins, Steve Raczak, Devon Kane, Cathy Schroeder, Pete Worth (Chair), Meagan Provencher (Associate Chair), Kim Hartmann (Board President), Kellie Schmidt (Staff Liaison), Abby Jacobs, and Scott Grams (Executive Director, Landscape Illinois). Not Pictured: Lauren Howell, Candi Scheuermann, Michael Massat (Board Liaison)
The committee serves in a variety of ways before the event and while onsite. They may have already contacted you about the chance to speak at the conference, and one of them will likely be hosting the room where you're speaking.
This energetic and committed group of volunteers received the honor of 2024 Committee of the Year!
