Layne Pitcher
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Lori during my time as Director of Marketing & Sales at Elitch Gardens. As a peer, Lori was vital in developing a supportive and positive interdepartmental culture that delivered world class events, promotions, and results. She was always enthusiastic and positive. Any issues were opportunities for improvement. She was an expert in understanding complex projects and mobilizing her team for timely and optimal results. Lori's leadership and support were invaluable and contributed to record-setting sales while working together.

I have known Lori for almost 20 years and worked with her directly when I was the HR Director at Six Flags Elitch Gardens. Lori is a dedicated, motivational, positive and high energy professional who I would recommend to any company looking for a highly valued leader. Lori handles high stress situations with patience and a smile. Her friendly and empathetic personality has helped her excel and building great teams over the years. The vast operational and management knowledge in theme parks has given her experience that can equate to any industry. Lori will be dedicated to any position she takes and anyone would be lucky to have her on their management team!
