A bit of company news for you: Our longtime managing editor Michelle Cohl has taken on the additional role of networking ambassador for the company. She has already begun an active schedule of representing the company at business and networking events throughout the area in order to help expand our business network and alert us to opportunities to do positive things around town.
This was Michelle’s idea. She brought it to us some months ago and we immediately recognized it’s a great fit for her talents and her personality. And she has quickly taken to it – identifying events and organizations to connect with.
Now for our existing clients, never fear: Michelle remains in the position of managing editor, so there is no danger Dan and the other writers will go off the rails with the material they’re generating. Between Michelle’s strategic management and Angie’s watchful eye as copy editor, our operations will be efficient – and our quality as high – as ever.
But we knew Michelle would thrive in this new role. After all, that’s how we found her. For those of you who haven’t heard the story, our first professional experience with her was in June 2018 when she took the initiative to organize and host an entertainers’ networking event. North Star sponsored the event, so Angie, Dan and Tony worked the registration table while Michelle worked the room.
It was clear that night that she was born for environments like that, and we’re glad we can now fit that type of role into her position here. Congratulations Michelle, and thanks for suggesting it! As always, it’s a privilege to have you as one of us.
