"Be true to yourself and everything else will fall in line." - Cathy
“I nominated Cathy because of her attention to detail.
She makes sure our Friday Morning “Coffee with Champions” has all the worksheets set out at every chair, posts on the Greater Springfield Partnership websites, and sends “thank you for coming” and next week’s topic emails.
She promotes (us) throughout the Springfield Community at her normal Chamber events.
Thank you, Cathy, for all you do. You are a “Force for Good.”
Where do you work, Cathy?
The Greater Springfield Partnership. I’m the Investor Relations Manager. I’ve been here 4 years as a member of the Ambassador Club and 3 years on staff.
Tell us a little more about your work?
As the Investor Relations Manager at the Partnership, I like to think of myself as the matchmaker for resources and good ideas—bringing them together for a happily-ever-after business story.
My job is to make sure every investor feels like a VIP while ensuring they're making the most of all the benefits we provide.
My mission? To turn every handshake into a high-five and ensure our investors walk away with a smile and a great return on their investment!
