Bio
Michael Topper

Additionally her upbeat personality and ability to respond quickly and concisely to the contractors’ needs played a major factor in repeat business. Rachael is certainly a valuable asset for any team.
Paul Mattke
Rachael consistently puts forth a positive attitude whilst executing her duties. Any challenge brought forth is met with steadfast resolve, and 100 percent accomplishment. As an event manager for National Conference Services, Inc. her ability to forge professional relationships and network with area professionals ensured that any conference scheduled would be highly attended, and would contain only the most relevant vendors for a targeted audience. You can be assured that Rachael will always excel in any endeavor explored, and will be an asset for any employer looking to enhance their business and management thereof. Do not overlook this great American!
