Iron Peacock Events Leadership Team

Sally Mainprize
SMMC, CRP, DES | Event Yoda/Owner

I opened Iron Peacock Events after 13 years in the corporate world of event management and another eight years on the event agency side. Not only do I understand your challenges, but I’ve also faced and conquered them firsthand many times before. I’m confident our team will deliver the same for you, using the best practices and methods I’ve honed over years of experience. I’ve handpicked a top team of meeting experts under the same principle. They’ve managed corporate events inside companies, so they understand your world too.

I am confident in our ability to deliver results; you will have my guarantee. If that makes you as excited as I am, you’ve found the corporate event-planning partner you’ve been looking for! Contact me, and we’ll determine how to take your event to the next level with measurable results.

Kim Arguello
VEMM | Operations Director

With over a decade of experience in corporate meetings and events, I have a genuine passion for my career. I geek out with checklists and process flows and genuinely love connecting with and serving people. Together these traits have allowed me to build a career of helping businesses turn their meeting needs into thoughtful, purpose-driven and creative events! My passion for planning stems from knowing that God calls us to use our talents to make a difference in the world (1 Peter 4:10).

I have lived in California my entire life and have a beautiful little family (consisting of myself, my husband and our daughter) whom I genuinely treasure. Together we enjoy connecting with people from all different walks of life and have a passion for serving and deepening connections through our local church. My joy as a homemaker is to further my love for hospitality by regularly hosting events for family and friends. Outside of work, I also enjoy reading a great book, spending time outdoors (by hiking or bike rides), and I love to travel - whether it’s for a client event or experiencing new places on the map - I love any great excuse for adventure!

Angela Plumaj
Event Management

I’ve had the privilege of working for IPE from day one and have loved every minute! Working in the industry since 2011, I’m invigorated by the diversity of logistics and planning, keeping details organized, and staying on budget. The most rewarding part is attending local events and seeing our client and their guests leaving with big smiles!

Hosting, organizing, and planning events is something I enjoy doing in my job, as well as outside of it. My family and friends love those calendars, and I have such a close relationship — tell me any event date, and I’ll remember it. Whether working on notebooks, lists, and sticky notes always help me succeed! I’m married to my high-school sweetheart, and we have two precious girls. My favorite things are dance parties in the kitchen, romantic walks down the Target aisle (ha!), walking our goldendoodle (Millie), and hosting friends in my home.

Jillian Price
Marketing

Throughout my years of marketing and public relations experience, events have always been an integral part of my workload. Whether planning and hosting company open house events, community fairs, golf tournaments, or press conferences, successful event management has been a critical part of my career. As a communication studies graduate, I also have a strong passion for writing and feel that I best express my thoughts in written form. In fact, writing a book (or five) is a top bucket-list item for me personally.

As a wife and mother to three children (and a sweet pup), I find my free time is often spent in gyms or on a sports field these days. I also really enjoy reading, boating on the lake, and grabbing coffee with friends.

Kim Hanauska
Event Management

My entry into the event planning industry was nearly 15 years ago - I was a full-time stay at home Mom who began working part-time as an Event Planner. I enjoy the variety and diversity within my work, as each event takes on its own personality and we have the opportunity to manage events for a variety of different clientele. Organization and communication are my major strengths and contributions to our IPE team. And as our team will confirm, I definitely have the gift of gab.

I currently reside in Minnesota with my husband, our two daughters, and our dog. Outside of the event world, I enjoy spending time with my girls, reading, and going for walks.
