Where I make typos..she catches them. When I can’t remember names…I just ask her…she always knows. I may forget to send an email…she probably already did it for me. Before I even realized I forgot. She is the solid foundation where we can set all our big goals and plans. She is the practical nod to reality when our ideas may be a bit too crazy. She is the nuts and bolts that enables us to host and events. She is the supportive role that comes alongside new endeavors. She is the dedication and determination that enables us to carry through projects. And dreams up marketing plans. And pays the taxes. And makes incredible salads.

While she may remain behind the scenes most of the time….CHAR co would not be who it is today with her strength, wisdom, and reliability. And I am so grateful for the beautiful person. Truly.
