Do you have a charity that is near and dear to your heart? Who and why?
Placing Paws of Illinois is an organization dedicated to saving animals from high-risk situations. When our daughter was 12 years old, she created a PPT presentation explaining why our family needed a dog – and that’s how we found our Blackie through this organization. He was part of our family for 12 years before crossing the rainbow bridge two years ago. Since its founding in 2008, Placing Paws has saved the lives of nearly 2,000 dogs and cats.
We strive to inspire excellence and teamwork. Tell us about a time that you felt inspired at First Nation Group.
Being in Business Development means I get to work with most departments at First Nation Group, from vetting a potential partner through the entire process to launching the product or partnership. Everyone’s expertise and dedication are the glue that make us successful.
