Clarisa!

Clarisa DeSanto is a semi-master of Strategic Networking who has spent years building community in New Braunfels while simultaneously trying to convince her family that "attending social events" is a legitimate full-time job. As President of the New Braunfels Downtown Association and a Business Development Representative for Providence Title, she is known for her countless hours of volunteerism with organizations like the Believing for Bryleigh Foundation and Leadership New Braunfels and for having a LinkedIn profile that is significantly more organized than her actual life. 

Clarisa credits her high-energy success to a "superpower" known as severe ADD, which allows her to effortlessly juggle multiple city-wide projects at once, though she might occasionally forget where she parked her car while doing it. Whether she’s championing local businesses or surviving "Unicorn Mom" duties, she is ready to help you build a powerful network through connection, laughter, and a little chaos. Today, she leads Community and Connections: The Power of Cross-Promotion, From Digital to Physical Partnerships, and Leveraging Your Brand.
