Sarah Butts has been a strong, but quiet, contributor amongst the career transition groups in Memphis. Her positive attitude and willingness to attend, participate and share is just the beginning of the charecter displayed of Sarah. Her presentation and information sharing was purposeful, very well organized and well delivered! This lead to being well received by the attendees - about a resource that they were not familiar with nor had conceived that the resource could be of value to them personally. It was excellent! I received numerous positive comments following the meetings that she attended and presented, including a professional organization development meeting. Sarah again blew the doors right off the car as she provided insight into the Memphis Business Journal and raised an awareness of the resource that it can be to this professional level attendees! Sarah Butts is an energetic, outgoing yet refined and intelligent.She has contributed to the local community and local professionals in an exemplary manner. An excellent talent for any organization or function!
