In addition to being recognized during an evening awards ceremony, Huston will also sit on a panel of experts, who will participate in a round table discussion on Friday of the WIPIN conference, which runs Aug. 14 through 16 at the Sheraton Airport Hotel in Portland.

Lorie Huston is a perfect example!”
