Marketing Senior Manager, Holtzman Partners
Volunteer of the Month, July 2015
For the most part – South Carolina (13 years). Before moving to Austin, I lived and worked in the Washington, DC area for nine years.
Currently – an ad-hoc volunteer perhaps? I was recently the VP of member retention – filling in mid-year for a vacant position. Prior to that I was on the social media committee, and helped secure a speaker for a SIG luncheon.
I help Holtzman Partners, an Austin-based public accounting firm of 55+ people, explain our service offerings to prospective and current clients; promote our firm to job seekers, and keep team members connected through internal communications. I also head up our alumni and volunteer programs and assist with our health and wellness initiatives. On a regular basis, I’m either planning or writing editorial for the website and newsletters, drafting up client proposals, managing the design process for various projects or planning events.
I learned about the organization when I was in college, and I found it to be a great way to create deeper relationships with other marketers. As a volunteer, it’s the perfect place to share my skills and grow them, as well.
I admire Don Schultz, “the father of IMC.” It’s because of him that my undergraduate and master’s programs came into existence. If it weren’t for his teachings, I’d probably be in a different profession.
Interested.
(As in, people interest me – their stories, their jobs, why they think the way they do, etc.).
