We wanted to send the student President of Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society workshop for Leadership Development. We need to make arrangements quickly for the trip this week. Cheryl jumped right in, got things organized the student is on his way for the two day conferences. She had to deal with a late registration at BGS Headquarters and find funding in a extremely short period of time. She did it all perfectly and professionally. Thank you Cheryl!
