NTHS Honor Roll: Carol Kaczmarek
|
|
|
|
|
Our August Honor Roll recipient is someone many of you know, because she helped you get your chapter started and she answers your questions with personalized and detailed emails.
Our very own Carol Kaczmarek is retiring this month after over 21 years of service to NTHS.
Carol started as the bookkeeper at NTHS and was instrumental in instituting inventory control and collection procedures that we still use today. She was then promoted to Chapter Development Director.
|
|
|
In her time with the national office, she has helped induct nearly one million members and add nearly 2,700 new chapters.
Her enthusiasm and passion for NTHS is infectious and one of the things her colleagues will miss about her the most.
“Some people come into your life and just really make their mark; they inspire you to be your best. Carol is that person,” says Customer Service Specialist, Renee Frady.
Executive Director, Peyton Holland says, “Carol is one of the most thorough individuals I have ever worked with. This shows up in her next-level proofreading capabilities. She not only gives Grammarly a run for its money, but can stock you up on all the essential oils for what ails you.”
Carol has taken care of the staff and our advisors for many years now and it is time for her to take care of herself and her family, including her husband Tom and her dog Dixie.
