The duties and responsibilities were ever-changing and ever-growing, which I loved!The journey began with Cloverdale's strategic planning session in the summer of 2008. Dedicating my energies toward the planning, collaboration and facilitation of the session(s) was my primary purpose at the company. Following the strategic sessions, I was invited to stay with Cloverdale through the remainder of my senior year.
