It’s the people that make an organization, an event and a life great… and we have some amazing people working together to accomplish that.
“The boss drives people; the leader coaches them. The boss depends on authority; the leader on good will. The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm. The boss says “I”; The leader says “WE”. The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown. The boss says, “GO”; the leader says “LET’S GO!”
Our team lives by the motto, “Adapt & Overcome”. We follow a mentorship and leadership by example approach to empower every member of our organization to reach their full potential in every aspect of their life.

To give of yourself… To share a little piece of yourself that shines in others… To share empathy, compassion, concern and true love… To inspire hope, courage, happiness and a sense of belonging… It is the gift of great music… It is why I do what I do and why I love the ID VIP Team. -another hiccup from the mind of The Happy Ho
