    "I have grown so much over the years in my position both professionally and personally due to the opportunities afforded me by my association and involvement with the Sales & Marketing Council. Many of the opportunities I’ve been given over the years was a direct result of my tenure with this outstanding, talented, dedicated and committed group of professionals….priceless resources, invaluable contacts and a heck of a lot of fun."
