Bio
John Woodard
I have had the pleasure of working with Cora at Kinetico and as peers in the water treatment industry for many more years than she will want me to tell you. She has made positive and profitable impacts at every step in her career path including serving on the board of the Ohio Water Quality Association as President. Cora understands better than most, that sales are mutual solutions to a common goal. That is why you will not be able to find any past or present co-workers or customers who do not call her a true friend.

Cora Dietz has a wide range of business talents and experience. Cora was a regional sales person for our primary water treatment supplier. She was creative and responsive in that role. We appreciated her ability to balance the needs of our dealership with the expectations of the manufacturer. I have also been serving with Cora on the leadership team of the Ohio Water Quality Association. Cora is currently serving as the Vice President of the Association. Cora has been instrumental in pushing programs forward that have a positive impact on our industry. She is not afraid to "roll up her sleeves" and provide any assistance necessary to benefit the group. She has been known to take it upon herself to make phone calls and send emails to notify the membership of upcoming events and meetings. She is a good leader that is not afraid to work hard. I am pleased to offer this recommendation for Cora Dietz and would be glad to confer with anyone regarding my experience working with her.
