Event professionals don’t just plan events. They lead experiences, teams, and organizations while navigating one of the most demanding professions in business. Naomi Tucker, CMP, CMM is dedicated to supporting the professionals behind the events.

As the Founder of Planners on Purpose, Naomi is a leadership coach, advisor, and strategic events leader with nearly three decades of experience helping event professionals build meaningful, sustainable careers. Her work focuses on strengthening leadership, protecting time and energy, and helping professionals move from constant reaction mode into the leaders they were already meant to be.

Naomi is a frequent industry speaker and host of the Planners on Purpose Podcast, where she shares practical strategies for event professionals who believe their work is meant to be more than just busy. Her contributions to the profession have been recognized with the MPI Wisconsin Meetings Industry Advocate Award and induction into the MPI Wisconsin Hall of Fame. She has served as Past President of MPI Wisconsin, contributed to the Event Industry Council’s Knowledge Committee and APEX Initiative, and sits on the Fox Valley Technical College’s Hospitalty Program advisory board.

When she’s not working with event leaders, Naomi is investing in what matters most – her faith, her family, and the occasional book that makes her think differently about the world.
