Bio
Lauren McNally
I worked with Samantha for several years at the National Association of Professional Women. Throughout our time together, I watched Samantha grow professionally with the organization. She took on more, stepped up when the team needed her support and was always learning from peers and superiors so she could continue to bring value to the organization. Her coordinating, project management and administrative skills are very impressive. She has the ability to manage a growing workload while finding ways to optimize process so her and the team can be more productive. Samantha is also able to get results without always having the authority by leverage her internal network and relationships to move projects and programs forward with the right resources and support. Bringing a detailed eye and a curious mind, Samantha is a true asset to any team.

For the 5 years that I held a Leadership position at the National Association of Professional Women, Samantha Pokorny was my Super Woman. Her ability to organize details and multi-task at the speed of lightning were a huge asset to my role both as NAPW Chicago Chapter President and NAPW Central Regional Manager. Although we work in different states, I had the pleasure of meeting her in person several times. Since my departure from NAPW, Samantha and I have stayed close and I would do anything to support her professional journey. She is someone I hold in high value and any company that snags her will be pleasantly surprised by her incredible work ethic and charming personality.
