Who We Are

The Elite Event Management Team —
where professionalism and experience make all the difference

Robyn Broshears

Robyn Broshears has been the owner of Elite Event Management since its opening in September 2004. Robyn is originally from Minnesota “Go Vikings!” and moved to Arizona “Go Cardinals!” in 1992. Robyn has her Bachelor of Science in Business Management from the University of Phoenix.

In 2010, Robyn began offering free instructional workshops to help non-profits realize the revenue potential of integrating technology into their auctions. Through her experience and education Robyn has had the privilege of helping over 100 non-profit organizations build and maintain their fundraising events. Her proven ability in event planning, streamlining event night processes, and cost conscious awareness along with her motto “Attitude Equals Success” has helped to make EEM Arizona a strong partner for the non-profit community.  Robyn shares her rowdy home life with her husband (Brian) and two sons (Aiden & Ethan).

Krista Sanchez

Krista Sanchez is dedicated to making the process of managing a fundraising event smoother for each of her clients. She prides herself on providing top notch customer service blended with her experience and knowledge of the nonprofit market, amassed over the last 12 years in the field.

Krista holds an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a Masters of Social Justice & Human Rights, with a focus in nonprofit organizational development, from Arizona State University.  She has worked with nonprofit organizations in Arizona, North Carolina, Belize, and has traveled to Uganda to volunteer at a school and orphanage.  When she is not working with clients on their signature fundraising events you can find her reading a book, enjoying a cup of tea, or exploring nature and the world with her three children and husband of nine years.

Elite Support Professionals

Elite Event Management is supported by over 30 event professionals who all have many years of event experience. Each one has gone through extensive training and development to learn how to enhance your event experience. Their continued knowledge on event registration, data tabulation techniques, checkout and item management along with overall event creation has proven to make them a reliable and professional resource to the non-profit community in Arizona.

“We have worked with Robyn since 2016 and have been very happy with the service that she and her team have provided for our organization. Many companies offer ‘auction software’, but it’s rare to find a dedicated team that will personally see your event through from beginning to end, be available to answer questions and troubleshoot, and serve as the experts you can return to, time and again. Robyn, Krista, and Rachel have been that for our organization, and have helped us successfully run two major events a year, for the past 7 years. There is no way we would have raised the funds that we have without their support and guidance. Being able to place the logistics of check-in and checkout into their capable hands has allowed the employees in our office to spend the time at our events connecting with our donors, rather than running around behind the scenes. Their professionalism is unmatched and I have especially appreciated how they take the time to really get to know our events, so they can personalize the help they provide for us. When Robyn’s team transitioned to working with a new company, it was an absolute no brainer for us to follow them, even though it meant a steep learning curve for us – they are THAT good! Getting set up in the new system has been a breeze with their guidance. I really can’t recommend them enough!”
