Our People
We hate to see good employees leave the agency, but occasionally they do. Unfortunately, a young professional left us just a few days ago. She sent a goodbye email to the staff that made me smile when I read it. I am proud to work along side some great people, who are not only creative and smart, but make working here interesting and fun.
With Katie’s permission, I am sharing her email:
Although my time was short, I will carry fond memories of all of you. In particular, I’ll miss…
Ashley: Team CORDURA®! …and your sweet smile and positive outlook on everything!
Julia: You’re a saint, I swear. I’ll miss calling you Julia-Gulia and Julez and all the other nicknames I have for you.
