Meet Cameron:
Cameron Curtis is a classically trained musician. Was. Cameron’s passion for music, beginning with piano and then vocal performance, began in middle school through
college where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in musical theater and opera. It stops there. She met the love of her life, Scott, got married, moved to Northern Virginia, and bought a house at the age of 23.
She lost her voice. Cameron’s family life has always been solid. Her mother and
father gave her unconditional love and support regardless of the path she took. Both encouraged her to be authentic and strong. She had two strong-willed grandmothers who impressed upon her from an early age that you should always take advantage of opportunities, even if they seemed risky. Following that advice, she took a job as an executive assistant for a higher-education not-for-profit. From there she moved
her way up the ladder from meeting planning to CEO. She discovered her true voice. Cameron is currently the President & CEO of C2 Association Strategies and has more than twenty-two years of not-for-profit management experience. She’s led organizations such as the Association for Air Medical Services, MedEvac
Foundation International, Society of Interventional Oncology, Association for Clinical and Translational Science, and the Texas Speech-Language Hearing Association. In addition, Cameron provided oversight for meetings and events, domestically and internationally. Cameron’s passion for growing leaders and helping others find their voices shows in her willingness to take advantage of any opportunity that comes her way. Risk is exciting to her, and she lives by the mantra her grandmother taught her,
“Never turn down anything but your coat collar.” Follow along on her website at www.c2associationstrategies.com or on Instagram and LinkedIn @cunzcurtis and Facebook at C2 Association Strategies.
