Suzanne Chaffee Berry, MBA, CAE

I had the pleasure of working with Kathy twice on two different association projects. Both times, I was impressed with her strategic thinking, but attention to detail. She actually listened to our need to be cost effective and worked on plans that would accomplish our goal, yet not break the bank. Her background as a CAE helped as we worked to integrate development plans into a membership based organization.

I worked with Kathy for two years at AHP, collaborating on several projects. Kathy is an innovator and strategic thinker who put great thought into designing strong processes for great outcomes. She skillfully lead committees and collaborated with board members and staff navigating difficult topics in the industry. Kathy is a talented, thoughtful and warm co-worker and a joy to collaborate with. Her leadership would be a strong asset to any association.
