From her years in Dallas, where she coordinated event planning and marketing at the Smithsonian Women’s Museum and North Texas Food Bank, she leapt into corporate sales at Comdata Corporation in Nashville. She built a reputation for fierce commitment to clients’ needs and worked her way up to Director of Client Development. Coble earned a BA from the University of Texas, her certification in non-profit management through
CNM Dallas, and is a member of Meeting Professionals International and Assoc. of Venue Managers. Her passion is evident in her service to our business community as sales manager for the Owensboro Convention Center and Chamber Ambassador.
