Kelli Calabrese
Summary
I've spent my lifetime creating, planning, promoting and executing comprehensive fitness, wellness and lifestyle events and programs for communities. It excites me to get out of bed every day to help people be well physically and emotionally and to bring joy into their lives.
I've run fitness and wellness programs for hundreds and thousands in person and tens of thousands virtually. I have excellent skills in writing, speaking and leadership. I've spoken on stages internationally and written for magazines such as Success Sisters and Wellness & Fitness Entrepreneur.
As a former business owner, I understand the urgency of producing, maintaining, and following an annual budget as well as establishing and nurturing partnerships with local organizations and businesses to benefit residents and the overall community. I have hired and managed a staff of over 200 people and understand the importance of developing and implementing general policies and procedures, as well as adhering to administrative duties. Everyone deserves to live in a community they can come home to and enjoy.
