RED had the privilege of working with Barbara while she was at Goodwill Industries. Her attention to detail and strategic insights helped lead the organization to success. She is highly motivated and interested in making a lasting positive change in our community.

Few people get the opportunity to not only begin a new career but be mentored by a talented business woman. I have worked with Barbara for 3 years and have learned and achieved more in that short time than in any past role I have had. Barbara is dedicated to her staff. She expects her staff to give 100% and works diligently to see them succeed.Her leadership style is professional, supportive, mentoring and visionary. I am constantly impressed by her intelligence and ability to come up with great ideas that propel our organization forward. It has been a pleasure working with Barbara on many projects knowing that I was supported in my decision making and given the freedom and confidence to excel.
