Bio
Catherine Lott
It was evident from the beginning of her working at the Area Development Partnership that Leanna was not afraid to take on any task, no matter how important or how minute, and she always completed them with great success. One of her first big jobs was to manage the applications, acceptance, placement and management of vendors for our 2011 HUBFEST - an outdoor festival with over 250 vendors ranging from food to arts and crafts. While it was quite a daunting task, she was up to the challenge. She wasn't afraid to ask questions or respond to vendor inquiries or complaints, and she handled everything like a professional. She did this again for us in 2012. In addition to taking on big projects, she was equally enthusiastic about handling small tasks such as setting up lunch for a meeting, hauling boxes upstairs to storage, distributing flyers around town, putting together booklets, reviewing newspapers, etc. Probably one of the biggest compliments I have is that she was able to juggle many projects at one time and finish them in a timely manner. I found myself creating lists of things for her to do for the entire week, and she would have everything finished by Tuesday or Wednesday, back in my office asking what she could do next -- and if I didn't have something, she always had an idea on the back-burner she could work on. She wrote press releases, created emails, edited the website and came up with new ideas for reaching our wide range of audiences regarding different events and projects, just to name a few. Leanna worked under me for about a year and a half. Once her internship was completed in Spring 2011, I asked her to stay on part-time. I would have loved to have her as a full-time employee, however we were at maximum capacity for staff during her time there. Anyone would be lucky to have Leanna on their staff. She is a very bright young lady and a hard worker, and I've seen her show the ability to both lead and follow.
