Our Team
Blanche Powell
Blanche Powell, originally from North Carolina, was instilled with the values of hard work and hospitality from a young age. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from East Carolina University.
After college, Blanche married her high school sweetheart, and their Air Force career took them across the country, from North Dakota to Texas, California to Virginia. During these years, Blanche explored her diverse interests in teaching, music, and business, and actively participated in community groups, choirs, and various committees.
Since 1996, Northern Virginia has been home for the Powells. Blanche has dedicated herself to the speakers' bureau industry since 1997, driven by her passion for customer service. Recently, she and her husband relocated to Leland, NC.
Blanche continues to work with clients nationwide, helping them find the ideal speakers, celebrities, and entertainers for events of all sizes. Her commitment to building relationships is at the heart of her work. Blanche’s family includes a daughter who lives and works in North Carolina, and a son who, after serving four years in the Marines with three tours in Iraq, now resides in Virginia with his wife and their two children.
