Joining Spa Speakers: Louise’s Story
Louise Weickert
Louise Weickert
Former Vice President of Public Relations and Secretary at Spa Speakers

I am married and have 2 sons. If I’m not on the sidelines watching my kids' sporting triumphs I like to run (slowly) and we also have an allotment which needs regular TLC.
