Blog: Sophie Klossner, HDI’s Membership & Local Chapter Director
HDI is a community with some of the greatest service and support leaders in the world. Part of our community is based on volunteers…volunteers who give back to their professional community as local chapter officers, speakers, industry experts, and willing to give their time, their talents, their enthusiasm, and their energy back to the community they are a part of. For HDI this is invaluable, because without our volunteers we are just a group of people trying to convince outsiders that we have credibility. Our volunteers give HDI the credibility that comes with any profession! One of our strongest volunteers, Bren Boddy-Thomas, is an advocate of her profession and her community.
On October 14, 2010, Bren, Help Desk Manager, Exchange Bank, Santa Rosa, CA, HDI Local Chapter Advisor, HDI Member Advisory Board Western Regional Director was a guest speaker at several of our southern California local chapters in Orange County and Los Angeles. Bren is a help desk manager who is proud of her team, her “Super Help Desk” team at Exchange Bank. Bren loves sharing her story with others, as she knows that it isn’t about her, but about the team that she works with. Bren is a hands-on manager, a believer of people and what they can do given the right tools, technology, and support from management. Bren shared her story with the attendees at these meetings and a reporter from the Los Angeles Examiner captured her story. Check it out: Los Angeles Examiner
Bren, thank you for being a strong advocate for your team, your company and for HDI. Especially thank you for your graciousness in speaking up for what you believe in and for believing in yourself.
