I have had the pleasure of working with Sue Enright over the last 20 years. We first began our collaboration when she was the general manager at the catering company, J & L, owned by my husband and myself. She was able to put in the infrastructure and systems that took us from being a mom and pop shop to a successful company earning aver 5 million dollars a year. Since then we have been colleagues at The Greater Chicago Food Depository and Kendall University. In addition,when I was COO at Sweet Miss Giving's Bakery her advise, given freely, was invaluable. I have always found her to be passionate about the mission, extremely detailed in her execution of projects, creative at finding solutions for challenging problems and a considerate and loyal colleague. Any organization would greatly benefit having her on their team. Please contact me if you need any other information.
