📣 Corporate Sponsor Spotlight: Vision InSites

Big news from our corporate sponsor Vision Insites: the company recently launched VIA, a new operational intelligence feature designed for security and property management teams. VIA analyzes observation data already being collected through the Vision InSites platform and can generate custom reports, trend analysis, incident patterns, cross-property comparisons and executive-ready summaries in seconds.

That builds on what Vision InSites already does best: helping security companies streamline field reporting, patrol activity, site management and communication in one place. Security personnel can document observations, attach photos and videos, organize reports and flag priority issues—giving managers and property teams clearer visibility into what is happening across their locations.

With VIA, that field data can now be taken a step further—helping teams identify patterns, compare activity across properties and turn everyday observations into information they can act on faster.

GET Phoenix is grateful to Vision InSites for keeping businesses and properties safe, and for their partnership in supporting our mission to serve the Valley’s growing professional community. 💙

👟✨ Want to know what it really takes to turn a creative project into a full-time career? Meet GET Festive special guest Kennedy Rettew, founder of Kicks by Kenna.

What started as a creative passion project in high school grew into a business, personal brand and dream career — one that has led Kennedy to create custom work connected to some seriously recognizable names and events.

Her portfolio has included projects for Simone Biles, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, Cam Skattebo, actress Kaitlyn Dever, Marlon Wayans for Scary Movie, Mrs. America, and major sports platforms including NASCAR and Formula 1. 👟🏁🏈🎬

At GET Festive, Kennedy will share how she transformed that early hobby into a professional path, the lessons she learned while building something from the ground up, and what it takes to keep growing when an idea starts becoming something much bigger.

Come hear how a passion project can become a career when creativity meets ambition — while celebrating 20 years of GET Phoenix Young Professionals with networking, food, drinks, music by DJ LILAX and raffles benefiting Local First Arizona.
